Technology Dumbphones

[AlsoTapered]

I checked - you can get a 3G dumbphone for £12 - so price go down in real terms.

Why are people so worried about an operating system like android being compromised? There's closed source proprietary software on the baseband controller than can be controlled by the telecom without the user having any idea

This applies to smart and dumb phones

There seems to be a return (for millennials mostly) to pre-smartphone-era-style devices (before the iPhone in 2007) to create a boundary and disconnect from the online world.

Do you have or would you get a dumbphone?

No way, I love my phone, I am not much for social media, but having the ability to keep myself entertained, informed and there are so many things my phone could do if I wanted it do. Besides, I keep location off and if want, I could just shut it down. The things my $1,000 + phone can do are amazing and my name is @Jnowhere and I am addicted to my phone.

For a moment I thought the title referred to non-wireless headphones

In a sense not Bluetooth enabled headphones could be called dumbphones.

In that regard, I do preferred wired headphones
