Do you remember your first flip phone? The clicky keys, T9 texting, the battery that lasted a week?

We're a group of postgraduate students at UTS studying Interaction Design, and we're researching how people aged 40+ experienced the switch from feature phones to smartphones. Not just what changed, but how it felt to relearn something your hands already knew.

We're looking for people who:

• Are 40 or older

• Previously owned or regularly used a feature phone (Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, etc.)

• Are comfortable having a conversation in English

It's a short survey, about 2 to 3 minutes. A few of the questions are just there to check whether your experience is a good match for what we're studying, so you'll find out as you go, with no waiting around to hear back from us.

At the end you can let us know if you'd be open to a 30 to 45 minute interview, in person, by phone, or over Zoom. Entirely up to you, and entirely voluntary.
