Artist August Lamm argues that ditching smartphones restores mental clarity and social presence
August Lamm, an artist and author of 'You Don't Need a Smartphone,' advocates for abandoning smartphones to improve mental health and social connections. She claims that removing the device restores cognitive function, reduces anxiety, and forces more intentional interactions. While critics note the inconvenience of losing digital conveniences, Lamm argues that the reclaimed time and presence outweigh these drawbacks.
