Although most people can't fathom giving up their phone due to all of the essential information it shares on everything from locations and reminders to phone numbers, the printable Paper Phone boasts a design that helps to convey vital information and give people a break from the world of technology.
With an app, users are able to take some time away from the screen by choosing to export certain information to a PDF, which can be folded and carried around and consulted just like a phone to access essential information.
