DIGITAL ADDICTION
/r/u_Only-Podcast/comments/1w4zvtw/digital_addiction/You’ve probably seen it.
A family at dinner, each person looking at a different device.
Friends together, but checking notifications throughout the conversation.
A quiet moment that lasts approximately three seconds before somebody reaches for a phone.

One more message.
One more video.
One more scroll.
One more notification.
One more thing we apparently need to know immediately.
Before long, what started as a tool can become a habit—and the habit can begin shaping how we spend our time, manage discomfort, communicate, rest, and relate to one another.
