On the downside, and to Slava’s point, one of the biggest reasons is because face-to-face socialization is also declining sharply in young adults. Which isn’t ideal.

Yes, a loneliness epidemic and anti-socialization of young people is linked to technology addiction. This is why I want to hold tech companies accountable for how they deliver content (especially to young people) as it also triggers dopamine responses resulting in addictive behavior. If we can hold cigarette and alcohol manufacturers responsible, we can do the same for big tech.
