The link is paywalled, and the abstract and lit review don't provide the full picture. Speaking for myself, I noticed a decade ago that 'second screen syndrome' completely ruined ability to watch TV and movies with my full attention. The internet on my phone delivers dopamine far, far faster. TV feels unbearably languid , like the characters are just filling time until the next scene transition. My phone is the primary entertainment machine, and we're not even talking high-quality AAA material here; it's the usual mix of Twitter drama, messageboard drama, new gadget videos and sports highlights. It's not as good as a quality film or book. But it's faster, and you don't feel the cost of context switching. At least until you run out of funny things to look at and have to put the phone down and do something else.
