Every day we constantly use different electronic devices, whether it is a mobile phone or a tablet or a computer, and you too will be always surrounded by screens. Precisely for this reason, the younger generations in particular are having a sort of rejection towards all these objects and are making the so-called Dumb Phones.
Dumb Phones: how they help with digital detox
Heinekena Dutch brewing company, recently conducted research in which it collected voices particularly from generation of Zillennialsi.e. Generation
Even though there is constant use of smartphones, it seems that the 32% of Zillennials want to be able to disconnect from their cell phone at least when they are away from home. 22% of respondents said they are leaving their cell phone at home.

In practice, it is as if today’s young people wanted to return to the times of those who grew up without or almost without cell phones, so as to be able to find a greater contact with reality.

Furthermore, a significant value that can be attributed to these mobile phones is precisely the fact that they help reactivate your brain, who very often remains numbed by all the conveniences given by smartphones – just think that once upon a time you knew most of the mobile numbers of your family and friends by heart, while today they are all stored in the address book. This is therefore an interesting initiative.
