I think that the researchers are on to something broader. The research shows that smart device use lessens sex. Japan for example has early high technology usage and high suicide rates but low birth rates. Does devices with entertainment substitute getting together with your partner and friends?
- louisswiss 9y agoRepeat after me - correlation does not imply causation
- coldtea 9y agoIt merely doesn't prove causation. But it does imply it (as in: hints there might be one), and it's necessary for causation to exist. Any causation mechanism will also have a correlation in its base.
- louisswiss 9y agoTrue - in logic/philosophy, implies means a sufficient basis for so it is just a semantic problem. I wouldn't say that a result can be necessary for a cause though, that is dangerously circular.
