How the 'Dumbphone' aims to break excessive screen time habits

In an effort to combat excessive phone usage and promote a healthier relationship with technology, dumbwireless Co-Founder Will Stults joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the "dumbphone" and its capabilities, as well as its underlying purpose.

Stults describes the device as "a one-stop shop" for "non-smartphones and other low-tech solutions," designed to empower individuals to "have a better relationship with their screen time." He acknowledges that the dumbphone has sparked conversation as this generation becomes increasingly addicted to screen time, stating, "A lot of us are in agreement that we need to take additional measures to reduce screen time."

Stults emphasizes that the phones are "simple talk and text devices," purposefully designed to minimize screen time. He notes that their target audience comprises parents seeking a first phone for their children and individuals aged 20-30 who are actively looking to curb their screen time.
