No Mobile Phones

[Aquarius1234]

Do you think you would be curious to go back to a life without smart phones?

Either basic Nokia s as in early 2000s or nothing at all?

Not really as I can remember a life without smart phones (or satnavs where, gasp shock horror, you had to occasionally be able to plan a route and work out point-to-point landmarks on a paper map to navigate by car).

No. I wouldn't, although I can still remember life without them and I can absolutely plan a route and read a map.

They do make things easier, if used wisely

As a type one diabetic who relies on it to live, absolutely not.

As someone who carries epi-pens, a rescue inhaler, and multiple antihistamines at all times, I am so very happy to have the ability to call an ambulance in my pocket at all times. I remember the relief the first time I got a cell phone back in the late 90s and my conditions weren’t even that bad back then. Just knowing I could get help though if I needed it was so reassuring.

I would 100% go back to a time before smartphones and possibly computers more generally. Im not convinced that overall they’ve made our lives better.
