Ditching Social Media for Simpler Tech | Detroit News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Tired of the digital noise? A quiet revolution is underway as people ditch smartphones for “dumb phones” — from retro flip phones to modern devices stripped of social media. One Gen Z user called it “heaven on earth,” while studies show half of U.S. adults and teens glued to screens daily. Companies like Dumb.co are cashing in, especially with young women seeking sanity. With lawsuits holding Meta and YouTube accountable for addictive design — even comparing it to substance abuse — there’s growing urgency. But the good news? Cutting back boosts sleep, focus, and mental health. Whether you go full screen-free or just simplify your tech, reclaiming your attention is totally possible.
