I created The Smartphone Free Life because I saw so many people talking about how much they disliked what their smartphones were doing to their concentration, connection with others, and general well-being, but there was no one who was standing up and doing anything about it.
And there was no place for anyone to talk and share ideas about this. All I saw was complaining and resignation.
As time has gone on, and articles have been published with titles like “Has The Smartphone Destroyed a Generation?“, the need to have a discussion about smartphones and always-on connectivity seemed to be not just important but urgent.
Also, people comment on my flip phone everywhere I go. I’ve had strangers stop me on the street. Clearly, there’s something almost scandalous, even heretical about not going along with the technological flow.
That meant I was on to something.
