How the idea was born
" I read the a chronicle by the psychiatrist Anders Hansen with the heading – Turn off your mobile if you don't want to underperform. It was a day when I should have done nothing but read news on my mobile. At lunch I went into a consumer electronic store and suddenly saw a classic Nokia 3310. And then I thought, "Now it's time. I'll buy one! ". After a few hours of frustration over the SMS with T9, I found a calm. I had nothing in my pocket that constantly grabbed my attention. I thought more people should be able to try this experience, and the idea of the smartphone hotel was born. Today I use my iPhone most of the time, but sometimes I switch to the Nokia over the weekend"- Malin Sjöstrand, SCRIIN
The book Skärmhjärnan by Anders Hansen highlights how our digital lifestyle affects our brain and our well-being.
