Back to Web & Tech

Hi :) so since like 2 months i started to use my flipphone again. I use one of a cheaper brand of my country, here we dont have the new nokias or anothers that exist in the US :(, but i do my best.

Here in my country the main text app is whatsapp and im sick of it, thats one reason why bc i still have my smartphone, but usually most of the time is off, i want to sell it soon, i hate how companies makes us depend on their devices to just exist...mostly i just use my pc at home and a few hours. Honestly the more time i spend with my flipphone and the real world, the less i want to spend time online. 

But i like to check websites like this (the old internet), because i like it, makes me feel nostalgic (yeah i have that 00/90s nostalgia), and it seems more real. I have a digital camera, a cd player (but i have few cds), and i want to buy soon a mp3 player or recycle some old smartphone, that tiny ones to make it like a mp3 player, wish to get an analog alarm clock lol, just i think would work better xD. I use physical maps sometimes when i was able to find ones printed in my city, otherwise i write the indications in some notebook i have (made me improve my sense of direction)

i wish to get friends here more friends that use flipphones to be more present and ditch technology, or similar thoughts. 

I really want to make the change to a flipphone the only thing keeping me from it is also whatsapp and also the fact that attendance at my uni is via a QR code that i need to scan, i'm thinking of only using it for that purpose cause i wanna get more conscious of my technology use and stop depending on it! Do you have any recomendations for flipphones? (i'm also from chile so any brand that you can recomend works, thanks!)

I use a barbie flip phone but keep my iphone for work stuffz!! Its only 12 bucks to power up and it super kool, just not very good for long text messages tho <3
