Scrolling on our phones is killing us. This is a statement of fact that needs no citation (besides, research isn’t really my thing).

We all know our phones are destroying our attention spans, our dopamine reward systems, our relationships. We know they’re numbing our feelings and experiences. That’s all I’ll say about the general badness of phones and the internet.
