Description

Welcome to another Goss episode here on the Aussie English podcast!

I bet you’ve owned a dumbphone before!

Well, back in the days, they weren’t really called ‘dumbphones’, were they? We see them as sophisticated gadgets before; you were so cool in school if you got a cellular phone, right?

With the advancement of technology, mobile phones that can’t connect to the Internet are now referred to as dumbphones.

But with all the sh*t going on all over social media, and a lot of other distractions, technology-weary Australians are now switching to dumbphones.
