In the recent decade, mobile phones have taken on a large role in our daily lives. Many mobile phones offer an ease in a variety of daily activities. However, malicious software developers have noticed our engagement in these devices and made use of our primal instincts. In order  to make users engage with mobile phones more and more, the dopamine systems in our brain are triggered by the use of design.

This causes people to spend a large part of their daily activities locked behind screens. Studies have shown that lonelyness and anxiety disorders have grown significantly in the last decade.

In order to bring light to this phenomenon I created a phone for people who might feel lonely. The glockenspiel instrument on the back of the phone rings the same sound as a message coming in on the current IOS system, simulating a friend noticing you and sending you a message.
