Finally, An Alternative to the Time-Sucking Smartphone with Joe Hollier
Jordan LangdonEver looked up from your smartphone and wondered where the time went? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation with Joe Hollier, co-founder of the Light Phone, we explore how our constant connection to smartphones is quietly eroding our family time, mental space, and ability to be fully present.
We speak about:
• Most smartphone apps are built to maximize "retention" through addictive design to collect data and sell advertising
• The Light Phone offers essential utilities (calls, texts, navigation) without browsers, email, or social media
• First Light Phone launched via Kickstarter, proving substantial demand for a minimalist phone option
• How one boarding school went completely smartphone-free using Light Phones, seeing improved academic and social engagement
• Light Phone offers privacy benefits as the company doesn't collect or sell user data unlike mainstream smartphone companies
