Why Gen Zers are trashing smartphones for old-school, retro tech ...
They’re tossing tech to the trash and seizing a retro reboot. Gen Zers are ditching sleek smartphones and algorithm-fed apps for vintage flip phones, once-coveted iPods, digital cameras, even typewriters — and jump-starting a simpler, less plugged-in life. And parents are scooping up retro tech for their children, too, as a way to preserve family life and delay the deluge of doomscrolling that is trapping kids into digital addiction. Sonya Saydakova is among the Gen Zers embracing low-tech over high-tech — including a point-and-shoot digital camera. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post About a year ago, Sonya Saydakova, a grad student at New York University, switched from an iPhone to a dumbed-down Nokia 2780 flip phone. “It’s an indescribable feeling to feel so detached and not constantly available,” the 23-year-old raved to The Post. Saydakova got a movie theater membership, picked up a digital camera and a CD player — and she quit Spotify. She also asks for directions instead of solely relying on Google Maps, saying the interactions with people on the street have enriched her life. Reducing her screen time, Saydakova told The Post, has made her feel liberated, focused, happier — and less anxious. “We’re culturally at a breaking point,” she maintained. “People are just sick of it.” Alex Becker, a 34-year-old mother who lives outside of Philadelphia, shares Saydakova’s desire to eschew tech, telling The Post she is one of “many” parents who have “no interest in getting their kids a smartphone or an iPad.” Instead, she wants her children, 5 and 2, to experience the “joy of childhood” without “the online drama,” she said. “The second kids get these devices, the innocence of childhood is lost. That’s what I hear from so many parents, like, ‘My daughter is spending every day on Instagram and Snapchat, wanting to buy skincare products, when six months ago she was reading Narnia books.’” The low-tech switch is part of a “broader cultural shift away from constant connectivity” and “digital overload,” according to Amanda Michel, US director of marketing at Backmarket, an online marketplace for refurbished electronics. Michel told The Post — in an email, ironically enough — that the site is seeing a “renewed interest in older, simpler devices,” with consumers scooping up Wi-Fi-free iPods, MP3 players, vintage gaming consoles, handheld cameras and more. Apple’s early-2000s iPods — like these with the classic click wheel — are finding new life. Corbis via Getty Ima...
