We have an issue these days with smartphone addiction and it is clearly getting worse and distratcting us from family and friends and even work, Everywhere we go people are on their phone,the bus,train,coffee shops and more and to make matters worse now food outlets are shoving tablets down out throats at meals for fuck sake.. Come on leave it out….

OK one could argue it might keep the kids quite but in fairness its not only kids that go here and the one time we should be putting the phone down we are now seeing this and no doubt there will be advertsing built in…
Cast you mind back to Siempo phone which I said would fail.. And it failed so badly despite advice given to them by many but they still went ahead with it. A company who in fairness is trying to cure an issue something like this just would not work. NoPhone is another company who are aiming to fix this problem in a much more practical and cheaper manner albeit it looks stupid to be carrying around..
Well this company have come up with another idea which I think will fail because there is already practical options out there and even households now could have similar options at hand like security boxes and so on regardless that there is a timer on this package this is easy to circumvent so it will be only convenient for a small audience really given the already available alternatives out there but I could be wrong…
I like this company because they are doing things on the cheap unlike that pile of shite siempo phone tried to pass off that had failure written all over it from its inception so I hope NoPhone do get backing and that it does help people out with their addiction but realistically speaking we can only help ourselves in the long run and any decent attempt to help us is welcome once its cost effective and realistic and given in this case there is plenty of similar ideas already looking at us every day.
If you think this can help you see their campaign HERE and check out the company itself HERE
