This 'Paper Phone' App Actually Gives You A Digital Detox

It is clear that phones have become irreplaceable objects nowadays. And while the good thing about having phones is that they accumulate all the useful knowledge in the pocket, they also bring stress and insecurity when it comes to users' mental health. Don't worry, the Android app called "Paper Phone" will help you get rid of your phone addiction with an amazing, unexpected “technology”: paper. 

According to app developers, this app is created for people who are spending excessive time on phones and are struggling to balance technology and personal lives. It works by printing personal booklets for users with the information they will need for a day, including contact numbers, meeting schedules, maps, notes, etc.

When the installation is completed, the user will be instructed to export the selected information and print or save in PDF files. The selected information is then printed into a booklet that can be folded and carried away. 

This application is one of the "Experiments with Google" initiatives, which introduces innovative applications that work on Google Chrome or Android or third-party platforms, such as Unity. This is one of five new applications that Google suggests for users to limit the time they spend on their phone screens. Excessive dependence on the phone, especially with children, will lead to many consequences. So right now, we need a practical solution to cut down on time on phone dependence. 

Maybe for many people, Paper Phone is not really an excellent solution, but at least it is still an interesting method that helps people spend less time on their phones. You can download it from Play Store right now, for free.
