Smartphones can cause stress with endless scrolling and social media toxicity, leading some to wonder if it's possible to go back to a time without them. Celebrities like Ed Sheeran have opted for dumbphones without internet access to escape the constant online presence. Sheeran hasn't had an internet-connected phone since 2015, preferring email communication once a week to avoid being overwhelmed by texts. Even young people are expressing a desire to live in a world without the internet, as shown in a U.K. study where half of youth aged 16-21 preferred it.
