Living Simply With a Flip Phone
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The promise of constant contact isn't good for all relationships. For Judith Goudsmit, a young New Yorker with no desire for a smartphone, the flip phone offers reprieve. She tells her increasingly rare story in this episode of If Our Bodies Could Talk with James Hamblin.

I'm 30 and I've never had a smartphone.
I think people with basic phones have better social skills. Not a fact, just my opinion.

I love how he realizes half way through saying “how do I tell people I’m at a cool place”, how stupid that sounds
I hate people using emoticons other than a few basic like a smile, angry face, sad and teary.

Exactly. But here's a tip from myself as a dating expert: Google " valley talk" sometime, and then, if you're guilty of using it like the dating expert in this video, try to avoid it, and boom! Watch how you'll get more dates instantly. You're welcome. :-)

She doesn’t understand how people can date without smartphones, lmao. She knows people still dated and got married before iPhones right
How does one become a "dating expert"? Wouldn't dating experts be happily married people? I mean, that's what I would consider a "dating expert." Call me old fashioned if you will, but I still subscribe to the idea that marriage is the end goal of dating for most people. (Yes, I know there's a huge contingent of people that want to date but don't want to get married, but studies still show that most people see themselves in a marriage sometime in the future.) So, since I'm married and happy, let me give all you singles some advice about smartphones: you don't need one in order to date. You're welcome.
I just have an iPod touch. I use an app for phone calls and text when wifi available.
he is like a mom trying to get her kids to share
Well, he didn't let her talk enough about the subject, did he?
I'm 17 and I use a flip phone. I use a computer or tablet to access the internet and other stuff. I think most smartphones are trash because they're too complicated. The only smartphones I do like are Doro smartphones. I have the Doro 632 flip phone.
Dude I started dating my now-husband in 2007 with flip phones and we texted each other like 50 times a day at least. We each had like 3 photos on our Facebook profiles though - not a lot of stalking material...
Delightful video, hard to believe how things were just a few years back
Wow!, that dude and chick on the right are awkward AF!!!
It's a real-life Doogie Howser!
Flip Phones are so cool that when you use one in public everyone stares at you!
Man I'm 21 and really worried for my future of people ahead of me
It's so sad seeing these cute young people struggling with face to face communication...
Wow.. he is a senior editor at the Atlantic. So young!
Wow! The girl on the left seems put together, and the smartphone users are so awkward. I can't believe the kid in the middle is a senior editor, but it is the Atlantic. He is super awkward, incoherent, seems a little high, no confidence, can't hold a thought or direct the conversation. I would be hesitant to hire him as a cashier or stockboy. Start learning Mandarin, folks.

2:36 "How could you date someone without a smartphone". That sounded serious, untill the end of the vid. "That's how they used to do it." Good joke.
How does the Atlantic still have any credibility? Can children be senior editors? Lol
I definitely do not want a smartphone. Waste of money, waste of time, most people with smart phones are very rude disrespectful of others that their with. No one needs a smartphone to date...
Not all simple phones are flip.

I miss my slider phone
well ... that was just awkward and hard to watch
Flip phones generally hold a longer battery charge and u can drop them harder and also ur bill is less. HaHa just call me....
Wall land line only. Always works but it's on a wall. ; )
Wtf is this, an interview or a prosecution? Or a Tyra banks expose? And this guy, suggesting that you need to keep up to date with someone’s social media otherwise they will talk to someone else......
this is a first date how did it endup
I shut off my mobile data on my smartphone and use my computer to surf the Internet. I can keep it, but I'll feel more alive!
Hilarious
I'm trying to figure out if this is a joke
I feel like 90% of people don't know that this is a joke
This is what I hate about my generation. Smart phones Dumb people.
This kid is an MD?
he is so delightfully awkward.
They would make a nice couple
We are doomed.
very cute
Is this a comedy sketch? It is, right? No way that chick is a dating 'expert', or that clueless dweeb and 'MD"...?
I find the most worrying thing about this article the responses. So many people are denigrating the article and the author in the process. "How does he know this?" (He explained his credentials and his process.) Why is he doing this? (It's his job and he is interested in helping people.) He is only sixteen (You calculated that completely wrong. How is your math?) It's an elaborate joke. (It is a good paper written by a conscientious, trained scientist.) The author NOWHERE advised you to stalk your date on social media, quite the opposite. This feels so judgemental. (Honestly, how many professional articles based on social problems have you read? This is not in the least judgemental, but rather concerned.) I am glad to see the few from people who use flip phones or have restricted their online time on their own. I suggest everyone read the entire article and then all the comments. You will find the majority of comments reactive, paranoid and just wrong. The author knows what he is talking about and his statistics are sound. On the other hand, if you are involved in this problem you are very likely to denigrate this article. Read your own reply and see if that is what you are doing. Articles like this as written to help people. The author is articulate and his statistics are right. I checked. Did you? If you know how to use that smartphone, you should know how to research the net.

Wow, they really mock the woman without the smartphone. If I were her I would have "accidentally" dropped one of theirs, then stepped on it on the way out.
If I get a smartphone, will people think Im a sophisticated big shot? I almost enjoy gettin ripped on by having a 2013 LG Revere 2. Works for me. Holds a charge for 5 days, never drops a call and it's $29 a month. If I need to get on the internet, I have a desktop,,,,,a Dell Optiplex 755 from 2008.....and it actually has windows 10! Im good to go.
A flip phone is a good idea for a secondary phone.
Smart phones have some practical uses that flip phones don't like calling an Uber.
