Engineer Builds a Screen-less Mobile Phone From Scratch
A space engineer who hates Smartphones and texting has built a unique mobile phone that doesn’t have a screen.
34-year-old Justine Haupt hates smartphones and other devices for the way they rule our lives. Thus, she has built herself a classical rotary dialing phone which is also wireless. She spent 3 years building a blue-colored phone fit with a rotary dial taken from an old Trimline phone and an antenna.
She built the phone’s case using a 3D printer and added speed dialing buttons so she could easily call her husband and her mother. The first prototype was built using the most basic hardware, but Justine constantly worked on improving the design and built until it was a fully functional encased device fit for practical use.

Ministry of Finance Rejects False Claims of High Unemployment Rate
