San Francisco, United States — Shunning his smartphone for a 'dumb' one changed the way Jose Briones engages with the world — and he likes it that way.

When he has to get someplace, he prints out directions before setting out or, if needed, falls back on the sometimes-forgotten practice of asking a stranger which way to go. Briones is far from alone in reconnecting with the analog world by relying less on finding life's solutions via the internet on his phone.
