Living without our smartphones - the adults' turn

Available for over a year

Earlier this year we followed a group of teenagers who bravely volunteered to give up their smartphones for a school week. Now it’s the adults’ turn to find out just how well they can cope with a low tech phone replacing their personal phone for seven days. Rachel Burden follows the group as they cope without easy access to social media, online banking and street maps. How will they track their fitness and find recipes now, and what does it tell them about their social and working lives? It’s not scientific, but our little snapshot of smartphone free life promises to be revealing. Produced by Ivana Davidovic Mixed by Gareth Jones Editor: Clare Fordham
