It seems like there is enough studies and science backing that too much phone use can cause problems — especially doing a lot of multitasking.
I say “seems like” without saying definitively, since I’m not quoting sources. But I’ve seen enough articles/studies come through HN that seem to suggest there is likely a link between phone addiction and things like anxiety, depression, attention span, etc.
Yes, phones are useful for a lot of things, and are in some cases required for doing some functions for business and social connectivity.
But the speed of information being fed and consumed, and the constant context switching can’t be good for us.
E.g. when I view my Twitter feed, I can have 20-40 completely different thoughts go through my head in a matter of minutes. I can’t imagine how that could be beneficial.
