Would it be crazy to go back to a basic phone?

I feel like smartphones have ruined us. I've disconnected from social media and can no longer access my accounts, however I feel like it still isn't enough. I'm still addicted to my iPhone.
Would it be nuts for somebody in their early 20's to ditch smartphones and go back to a basic one with standard features like text and call?

There's a company that will pay you $1000 if you can go for a month without a smart phone (you can still use a clam shell phone that only lets you make calls and text). The catch is that it wants people with a huge media following so it's very unlikely that anyone that qualifies will take up the challenge. People with lots of followers make thousands in a month so why would they trade it in for less money and lose their followers.

Some people are trying to do just that but most people are not because of the convenience of smart phones. It makes life easier.

If that is all you needed and you didn't want to pay to use a smartphone, then I don't see how hit would be considered crazy, no matter the person's age. I know teens with flip phones and old grannies that text, facetime, skype and FB, Instagram, etc, longer and harder that any 20 something.

In the end a phone is just a tool, most people assume it's a instant communication device that gets them in contact with the person they wish to bother at that moment because their bored. They forget that others use them, as a way to get back to others, when they see fit, have the time, or not.

So get the phone and service you want/need. Don't worry about what others think of your choices. You can always get a smartphone again down the road.

It would be more sane than can be described.
