    I use my phone way too much but it actually is a pretty good way to cope vs say drinking. I’ve had periods where I went without it, and it didn’t resolve my issues. Before phones existed I used games instead, so it just shifts.

    We’ve had some strong recessions in the last 15 years and it seems to me that that affects everybody negatively. Like say two parents working all the time. Lower teacher to student ratio. Overburdened healthcare systems.

    I might be wrong about that, but that’s how I see it at the moment. For sure there are many factors involved here, I just feel that pinning it on phones goes a bit too far for me.
