Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?
#10
The thing is, the headline for this article doesn't really come to the right conclusion.  It's not smartphones that are ruining people's lives, it's social media.  Teens aren't compulsively checking their phones throughout the night to look up facts or even to watch the latest pop video over again, they're checking for updates on whatever social media they use and seeing how many likes or whatever they have gotten.  As stated in the article, it has been documented that people who use facebook frequently are more likely to be depressed than those who do not.  Smart phones are simply making it easier to feed the addiction.
