But mobile is OK (imho). As for addiction to "click" or "tap", it seems to me to be clearly destructive. Considering huge number of addicted people it is for longer discussion.
Just some hints. It was some what similar with books and machines and TV and computers....
But every time people were able to reflect and use progress to our own good
Have we crossed a threshold how?
Every time I think that the human brain tends to simplification, this is good because it allows us to live, but sometimes leads to errors of judgment.
It is like for those people who have an addiction to gambling. Is the problem gambling ?, evidently not, the problem is the social system in which the person affected by addiction lives, but that thing is much more difficult to analyze and correct, so we blame the gambling.
Same thing when talking about problems with video games, or more generally with virtual realities.
For me with phones the only real problem to consider is the possible harmfulness of electromagnetic radiation, all the rest of the possible problems are to be transferred in the social field and not in the device itself.
