I have thought about going back an old Nokia phone quite a few times and just have the phone calls and messaging experience and no internet at all but I realize I am into too many to not have a smartphone anymore. It's Steem, whatsapp, some casual google searches, emails and more( no Facebook and Instagram). I am willing to transform my smartphone into a phone only and not a media device that much though. I can imagine though how was your experience and I instantly remember the "time feeling" I had in childhood when every minute outside counted and TV was the last option to spend my time. Sometimes I even think of living in such a place where I would definitely not need a smartphone and internet connection. Simply because while offline I can say that one can fully experiment living in the present moment and being fully conscious of every act he does. I guess you will probably upload some pics as well from there although they're not digital. CamScan is a handy app for such things if you don't have other option and wish to share them on Steem.
