Abstract: The article focuses on the Wiley Home Phone, a product that combines retro corded phone design with modern Wi-Fi functionality to facilitate screen-free family communication. Created by Chris and Bailey Livingston, the phone emerged from a personal need for a reliable communication tool for their children without introducing them to smartphones. The Wiley Home Phone features customizable options for parents, including call screening and emergency services, and aims to foster connections among family members while minimizing the negative impacts of screen time. Set to launch a simplified version in February 2026 and a more advanced model in October 2026, Wiley is positioned within a growing trend of returning to simpler, more intentional technology.
