Comment on Is America headed for an age of dumb phones?
CarnivorousCouch@lemmy.world 1 week agoI appreciate the thoughtful response - I haven’t noticed that trend specifically with BI, but have seen the general tendency you’re describing in media at large. For this specific article, I find the concept of a dumb phone more intriguing than “Lifehack: Eat Gruel!” Type stuff – see my other comment in this thread if you’re curious about why – but also did roll my eyes at the person who has three such devices for different purposes.
Thanks for elaborating!

No worries! It may be exposure bias, and I’ll be honest that the only BI articles I read come from here and there certainly is a certain slant. But from where I’m sitting, it really does seem like there’s a coordinated effort among so called ‘culture journalism’ articles such as this to push a certain normalcy of nothing I’m that I can’t help but wonder if there’s something funny about it. Perhaps it’s a sort of tin foil hat theory, but prescient in a really stupid way. This article in particular isn’t exactly a defining example, but more of a contribution to that nature. I dunno, I probably need to go to bed lol.
