"Dumbphone Owners Have Lost Their Minds"

Wired published an article saying dumbphone users "lost their minds." I disagree. In this video, I respond to Wired's piece arguing that choosing a dumbphone means you've lost touch with reality. The author admits smartphone addiction is real, that tech companies intentionally designed "enmeshment," and that giving up your smartphone feels like losing part of your identity. But instead of seeing this as a problem—they surrender to it.
