What Are Kosher Phones?Kosher phones are mobile devices designed to exclude internet access and cameras, enabling users to communicate without the distractions of modern technology. Frieda Vizel, a local tour guide, shared a video on social media that features individuals using these phones while engaging in face-to-face interactions. Vizel explains, "This is not an ordinary flip phone. It’s a special phone called a kosher phone, specifically modified to limit access to certain features."The community's preference for kosher technology stems from a desire to maintain personal connections and ensure that adults remain present for their children. Many parents choose to limit their children's exposure to the internet, fostering an environment where kids can engage in social activities without screens.Coming back to the viral video, here’s how the internet reacted: ALSO READ: Narayana Murthy Back To Justifying ‘72-Hour Work Week’; Compares It To China’s ‘9-9-6 Rule’ | Viral“I want this!!!
