Recent reports highlight a growing trend among younger generations to move away from smartphones in favor of single-purpose devices. According to Independent Urdu, this shift is driven by 'digital fatigue and the overwhelming choice' that smartphones present. The article notes that while smartphones have become indispensable, integrating functions like alarms, maps, and cameras into one device, they also contribute to distraction. In response, young people are turning to 'dumb phones' and standalone devices like digital cameras and MP3 players, which allow for more focused and intentional use of technology. This trend is partly due to the constant notifications and algorithm-driven feeds that make it difficult to disconnect from smartphones. Statistics from Canada illustrate this dependency, with smartphone usage increasing from 3.2 hours daily in 2019 to 5.65 hours in 2023, and 88% of Canadians aged 15-24 checking their phones at least once an hour.
