Welcome to Dumbphone.blog! The main purpose of this blog is to help you live a more digital minimalist life. Most of the articles on this blog will not be about dumb phones; they will focus on finding creative ways to have more autonomy over your digital life. The goal isn’t not to be a part of the digital age, as that would not do you any favors. Instead, the aim is to help you gain control over it.
This website has been designed with a very minimal approach and aesthetic. We promise this site will never contain ads, keeping the experience as distraction-free as possible. Right now, we don’t even have an email newsletter set up or a contact page. This allows us to keep the focus on reading the posts; if you want to visit us, you can simply type our URL into your browser. We don’t even want to distract you with emails. We are a minimal operation and don’t have a contact page simply because we probably won’t check or respond to it. We may set up an actual P.O. box for handwritten letters someday, but for now, please enjoy our bland and simple website.
-DP.B
Of all the souls that stand create
I have elected one.
When sense from spirit files away,
And subterfuge is done;
When that which is and that which was
Apart, intrinsic, stand,
And this brief tragedy of flesh
Is shifted like a sand;
When figures show their royal front
And mists are carved away,—
Behold the atom I preferred
To all the lists of clay!
-Emily Dickinson
