Our host shares his perspective on how smartphones have become like televisions in our pockets, consuming our time and energy. He argues that while smartphones offer some benefits, such as touchless pay and navigation, they may not outweigh the negatives of spending hours scrolling through news and social media feeds. The episode introduces the concept of the dumb phone revolution, where people are opting for simpler devices that primarily make calls and send texts. We discuss the potential benefits of reclaiming time and becoming creators rather than consumers, and the implications of big tech companies partnering in ways that may not respect user privacy. Join us as we contemplate the trade-offs of smartphone technology and consider the merits of the emerging dumb phone movement.\n\n✨Pragmatic AI Labs builds courses on edX: https://insight.paiml.com/d69\n 💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/ZrjWxKay
