AI概述 「磚化」手機，以流行的Brick應用程式屏蔽設備為例，是一種數位排毒方法。它利用一個小型NFC磁鐵暫時限制使用者存取容易分散注意力的應用程式。它將你的智慧型手機變成一部“傻瓜手機”，透過要求用戶透過實體接觸來鎖定/解鎖應用，從而減少螢幕使用時間，提高專注力。 Brick工作原理 實體組件：一個售價59-60美元的3D列印磁性立方體，無需電池。 設定：透過配套應用程式選擇要封鎖的應用程式（例如社群媒體、電子郵件、遊戲）。 使用方法：將手機靠近Brick實體裝置即可激活，立即封鎖所選應用程式並隱藏通知。 解鎖：要恢復存取權限，必須再次輕觸Brick實體設備，人為地製造摩擦，防止使用者無意識地使用應用程式。 緊急功能：如果您不在實體設備旁，可以透過應用程式對每個設備進行五次「緊急解鎖」。 《經濟學人》 人們為何要「磚化」手機？ 減少螢幕時間：用戶報告稱，平均每天螢幕使用時間減少了三個小時。 數位排毒：它被用作對抗「刷屏」、提高效率和增強專注力的工具。 「反科技」趨勢：該設備符合更廣泛的趨勢，這種趨勢通常由Z世代推動，旨在減少對科技的依賴。 克服衝動：透過要求用戶進行物理操作來解鎖應用程序，它可以幫助用戶戒掉下意識查看手機的習慣。 《經濟學人》 什麼是「磚化」手機？ 功能限制：一旦手機“磚化”，您選擇的應用程式將無法訪問，取而代之的是鼓勵您保持專注的訊息。 無懈可擊：與僅基於應用程式的軟體鎖定不同，物理鎖定要求防止您簡單地繞過密碼或計時器，因此對於嚴格的自我約束的數位生活來說，它更加有效。 重要區別 有意與無意：與傳統的「變磚」（由於軟體更新錯誤導致手機永久無法使用）不同，這是一種暫時的、有意的限制，旨在改善數位健康。

AI Overview "Bricking" your phone, in the context of the popular Brick app-blocking device, is a digital detox method that uses a small physical NFC magnet to temporarily restrict access to distracting apps. It transforms your smartphone into a "dumb" phone to reduce screen time and foster focus by requiring a physical tap to lock/unlock apps. Medium Medium +4 How Brick Works Physical Component: A $59-$60, 3D-printed, magnetic, battery-free cube. Setup: You select which apps to block (e.g., social media, email, games) via the companion app. Usage: Tap your phone against the physical Brick to activate, instantly blocking chosen apps and hiding notifications. Unbricking: To regain access, you must tap the physical Brick again, creating intentional friction against mindless usage. Emergency Feature: You are allowed five "emergency unbricks" via the app per device if you are away from the physical device. The Economist The Economist +6 Why People "Brick" Their Phones Reduced Screen Time: Users report decreasing screen time by an average of three hours a day. Digital Detox: It is used as a tool to fight doomscrolling, increase productivity, and improve focus. "Anti-Tech" Trend: The device aligns with a broader,, often Gen Z-driven, trend towards reducing technology dependency. Overcoming Impulsivity: By requiring a physical action to unblock apps, it helps users break the habit of subconsciously checking their phones. The Economist The Economist +4 What is a "Bricked" Phone? Functional Limitations: Once "bricked," the apps you chose are inaccessible, replaced with a message encouraging you to stay focused. No Loophole: Unlike app-only, software-based lockers, the physical requirement prevents you from simply bypassing a password or timer, making it more effective for strict, self-imposed digital discipline. Apartment Therapy Apartment Therapy +1 Important Distinctions Intentional vs. Accidental: Unlike traditional technical "bricking" (rendering a phone permanently unusable due to faulty software updates), this is a temporary and intentional restriction to improve digital wellness.
