I didnt have a smart phone for aggeeessss, but now i do. i did have an ipad that whole time so idk if thatโs cheating. the good thing about having an ipad/ tablet/ computer and not a smart phone is you can do all the stuff you need but itโs not like with you all the time? i did really miss google maps, but the other main thing that was irritating was not being able to scan QR codes for menus etc.
music wise, you can get the radio on a lot of flip phones or nokias, and i was never smart enough to figure it out but you can download music onto some. or i guess you could get an ipod or something. idk if this is helpful but i hope so!

for a while my phone wasnโt functional so every time iโd go out i would bring a digital camera, discman, & a book so that i could have the main uses of my phone (bar communication) covered. it was only a little strange & disorienting

eventually i got an ipod touch when i was old enough but that little $10 mp3 was my LIFE. I learned how to navigate the internet/lime wire too young just b/c i wasnt trying to pay for anything. Occasionally I would buy CDs of my favorite albums and rip them <3

I wanted to get a vintage flip phone to use on my days off, and ended up discovering that 2G and 3G service is basically obsolete within the US. Luckily, I found a cute phone that runs on 4G and even made some cute trinkets for it. I leave my iPhone at home during my morning walks, and on my days off, Iโm only on my burner. I thought I needed a vacation until I started using my flip phone - 10/10, would recommend.Why the flip phone? There are countless reasons. I think about this experiment often.
