I bought a cheap flip phone to help solve my phone addiction
 

Huge mistake. I feel like I am in 2005 or worse....that I am some baby boomer who only needs 500 mb of data each month. Don't do it I promise you that phone addiction is not so bad as being seen in public with a flip phone in 2017.

I am back to being a hunched over beta male zombie checking my phone every 10 seconds.

Do they still get signal and still have access to phone networks nowadays?

I really don't get why anyone would want to go back in time there is the opportunity to have a hand held computer that fits in your pocket and always connected to the Internet.

Embrace the technology that you are fortunate enough to be alive to use...you actually OWE it your ancestors who survived long enough to assure that you existed!

It dumbs you down.

90% of shit you do on modern phones/tablets is waste your life away on social networks or other stupid sites.

How much actual, meaningful work do you do on these things? Not much.

you're absolutely right :disgust

I bought smartphone android for no other purpose to run one specific application which does not exist for PC, and i got totaly hooked on it, there is like billions of apps and games which does not exist on PC. And most of them are free just for exchange to watch some ads.

take it to a shithole

Welcome back to the Adroid Google youniverse -- enjoy your stay ;=)

Try less drastic change. Personally I've switched my phone zombie time from socialshit to learning node.js and some other programming skills to improve my business.

There's some great mobile elearning apps such as sololearn.

The kids laughed at me when I used mine.some said they never seen one like that before. I knew it was time to upgrade and glad I did

i cunt a4d a cheap flip phone... :(

Actually I went out and bought an iPhone. Took me about 2 hours to love it.

If you live your life through the smartphone it could be a way to take back control. No more Facebook, Twitter and other time wasters.
