Besides which, according to the CDC, the divorce rate in the United States has been declining since the release of the iPhone. But that doesn't fit the narrative that smartphones are destroying all of society, does it?
- asynchronous 3y agoI would argue that metric is simply because less people are getting married now in the first place.
- taylodl 3y agoYou're not wrong, but just to clarify, the divorce rate is decreasing, not just the number of divorces.
- maerF0x0 3y agoI've seen presumptions that is because marriage has been declining. People who were marginally less into marriage for whatever reason seem to be forgoing the "I guess we need to get married ... <1 to 7 yrs, maybe kids> ... I never was into this, why did we get married? Lets divorce" pattern.
