Techless: The Wisephone

Smartphones: The Social Dilemma

While smartphones were invented to improve social connection, they have done just the opposite. Social media has created an endless list of issues for GenZ, or at least heightened those issues to an extreme. All generations are addicted to their phones, but it feels like we could not live without them. Smartphones feel too integral to our lives to dispose of completely.

Techless: Just the Essentials

Techless, started by Chris Kasper and Jon Lentz, was founded to “create pure and simple technology for intentional living.” Their first product wisephone is a touchscreen phone with only the essential tools. These tools include maps, calculator, clock, camera, call, and text. This phone provides people with the ability to relinquish their smartphone and all the addictions that come with it for a wiser option.

Wise Living

Recently, a good friend of mine made the courageous decision to sell his smartphone for a flip phone. Now, this was shocking, but everyone agreed it was wise. With Wisephone, people can follow in my friend’s footsteps without feeling like they are going back in time. People can live simply and in the moment. Distractions will be few and far between. “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).
