Comment on Will we be addicted to our phones forever? An optimistic outlook

Comments

It’s not just what the phones give us (in terms of connectivity), it seems we’re addicted to the light itself (same with TV before).

Presumably, this is some primal sitting-round-the-fire type impulse.

I don’t think smartphones would be meaningfully less addictive if they used old school, non backlit display technology.
