An entrepreneur says she sold 1,000 updated versions of landline phones in 72 hours.Cat Goetze, the creator behind Physical Phones, says most people hate that technology has taken over their attention span, and has sold $120,000 worth of product through her idea to bring back landline phones.'People don't memorize people's phone numbers anymore.'"I started Physical Phones because I realized most people don't actually hate technology," Goetze said on "Fox & Friends First."Goetze is selling physical phones that mimic rotary phones, the handheld phones of the 1990s, and the phones that hung from the wall in most homes in the 1970s and 1980s. However, they don't work by plugging into a phone jack; rather, they are powered by a rechargeable battery/USB, and connect to modern smartphones via Bluetooth. "People don't memorize people's phone numbers anymore, so we built this really awesome feature in where I'm connected via Bluetooth right now," she told the Fox hosts. "If I pick up my physical phone and I press star, it activates Siri, so I can just say, 'Call Mama' ... and it'll go ahead and call her."RELATED: Uber launches autonomous rides in Dallas, Texas, with partner Avride Photo by: Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Goetze says that in 2023, she "hacked a Bluetooth antenna into a pink landline phone simply because taking calls while twirling my finger [in] a curly cord made me smile."In her recent appearance, as well as on the company's website, Goetze stated that young people "shouldn't be forced to choose between tossing your iPhone in the ocean and spending eight hours a day doomscrolling."The idea is that any video or audio call that comes through the connected cell phone — including from WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Snapchat — goes to the landline-esque phone to help users resist the allure and temptations of their smartphone."It's actually the young people who have never actually had a landline phone that are the most excited," Goetze remarked. "They're the ones who have this nostalgia and this craving for a simpler time because they grew up with smartphones."RELATED: Trading cubicles for crops: One couple's 'Exit' from the corporate grind Photo by H. Armstrong Roberts/ClassicStock/Getty Images Readers may remember the NoPhone, the original answer for those who are against using a smartphone entirely or wanted to rid themselves of being attached to a device. The item looks like a smartphone but has zero functionality whatsoever.Launched in 2014, the original NoPhone sells from $15 to $21. A newer version, called the "NoPhone Selfie Update," is listed for $23. The updated version says customers are "able to make real-time selfies," as it comes with a mirror stuck to it.AT&T currently offers landline connections ranging from $59 to $72. Verizon offers its own set of landline options as well.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Before the Magna Carta, the King of England was the law. After, he was under the law. It created the principle of due process, habeas corpus protection from arbitrary arrest, and limited taxation without consent.“Rule of law, jury trials, rights of the accused, limits on government, protection of property, accountability of leaders — all of that comes from the Magna Carta,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”“That gave birth, 500 years later, to us and our ideas,” he says.However, now all of that is changing.“The birthplace of the Magna Carta is now thinking about getting rid of jury trials and arresting more than 12,000 people every year for what they call speech crimes — 12,000,” Glenn says.“In 2023, Russia arrested 4,000 people for speech crimes against the Russian military for Ukraine — 4,000 in Russia, 12,000 in England. The number I saw, and we don’t have all the numbers, but the number I saw that were arrested for speech crimes in China was 120,” he continues.“Not for violence, not for theft, not for treason — 12,000 in England for words,” he adds.But it gets worse, as the prime minister is “floating the idea of eliminating” most jury trials.“It’ll only be for murder, manslaughter, oh, and something else like that,” Glenn says.“This goes against the Magna Carta, the lawful judgment of your peers. OK? That is the safeguard that stands between you and an out-of-control state. This is the first and ancient firewall against tyranny. It is what makes England, England,” he continues.“And if England, of all places, tosses that aside, what does the word ‘free’ mean anymore? OK? What does it mean? You can’t speak, and you have no jury trial of your peers. Wait, what?” he says.“First of all, understand this: A nation that polices speech is not free. A nation that dissolves juries is not just unfree; it’s prepping for something worse, because the entire architecture of the Western world, the liberty that we have, rests on a single radical belief,” he says, adding, “The truth does not need a king.”Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
