Day without a mobile phone: at Saint-Gaston, no one answers

Saturday, February 6 is World No Cell Phone Day. A nod to Nino Ferrer and a salutary measure for all keyboard addicts.

From restriction to restriction… what if World No Mobile Phone Day was an opportunity to try to gain freedom? Anne Kerléo receives Phil Marso, the initiator of this major challenge which will seem like real torture for those who are struck by nomophobia, this panic fear of being separated from their smartphone.

Twenty years already that February 6 calls into question our relationship to the mobile! Humorist and author of Mobile phone killer without apparent mobile (ed. Mégacom-ik), the brain agitator chose this date in connection with the song by Nino Ferrer, Gaston, ya l'teléfon qui son… Et la Saint- Gaston falls on… February 6. After this wink, it is also a way of questioning our uses and perhaps thinking of a form of desensitization, like training for a marathon runner, by turning off your phone for fifteen minutes a day, which can already prove a tremendous showdown. 62% of French people admit that they can't live without it for a whole day, how about you?
