Smartphones have dramatically changed the way humans relate to each other, with incredibly profound impact on mental health and social interactions. The negative impact hasn't gone away just because part of the population hasn't seen a different world and can't imagine anything different.

The argument of "we've always had XYZ and we've done fine" always conveniently ignores acceleration/rate-of-change as a factor -- as if the printing press, radio, tv, internet, computing, mobile revolution, AI etc are distinct events that we "got through" with no relation to each other, when in reality they are just cycles in an ever tightening feedback loop.
