The simple and traditional "introversion = evil extroversion = good" meme is tempting, but alternative explanations are possible. For the majority, which are introverted, possibly "everything must be social on smartphones" combined with non-face-to-face interaction means phone-time means they never get that alone time to recharge and feel better, can never quite get away from the dreaded notification pull-down drawer. Imagine a world where cultural pressure combined with advanced social media technology makes meditation and introspection and privacy and serenity impossible; for some people that would be heaven, others, hell, regardless which, its certainly what we have now. Another interesting theory, possibly even accurate: kid-only interaction is inherently bad, in the "Lord of the Flies" sense. Adult interaction might be good, Cross-age tribal interaction might be good. Possibly all kid-only interaction is bad and has always been bad; its certainly very artificial and non-evolutionary and pre-social media there have been critiques of the culture produced by kids interacting solely with other kids. If that theory is correct, then a hand-held device that pumps more of something that can only be poisonous would likely make most kids more unhappy on average. If a culture of "Lord of the Flies" sucked, then "Lord of the Flies, now as a social phone app" is merely going to suck more.
