revolution against smartphones

A revolution against smartphones... and a return to the "dumb phones" era

A large segment of smartphone users around the world started a "revolution" against their modern devices, and proceeded to return to the era of "dumb phones".

The British newspaper "The Sun" said that old phones, which are called "dumb", are witnessing a new spread among users.

In this regard, Nokia announced, earlier this week, that it had begun to regain a part of the mobile phone market last year.

And the luster of Nokia, the favorite brand of previous generations, has been extinguished after the popularity gained by Samsung phones, iPhones, and others, in recent years.

The Sun explained that the new generations have grown up in the world of touch-screen smartphones, which provide a full library of applications and features.

And she continued, "But things are beginning to differ now, as these generations have begun to change their modern phones to obtain simple devices."

Experts say the effects of smartphones and social media on mental health have contributed to people wanting simple, traditional phones.

They point out that this group of people is currently trying to reduce their consumption of smartphones after they have become "addicted" to the features that give them quick and temporary bursts of the "dopamine" happiness hormone.

Others, on the other hand, want to rely on "dumb" phones in their lives to be more present in the "real world".
