We spend half our lives online nowadays and it’s obviously causing damage to our health. Do you think it would be worth the benefits to stop carrying a smartphone and to disable the WiFi at home?

    I think I disagree. The benefits of portable internet are negligable, but the harm is significant.

    Opioids are popular, too, and have significant benefit as well. There are a lot of parallels than can reasonably be drawn between smart phones and opioids.

    The internet, in general, is a net good; it’s the accessability to that dopamine button controlled by corporate interests that tips the scales for smart phones. IMHO, of course.
