Why Is No One Talking About Smartphone Addiction?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

  Are you reading these words on the phone? If the answer is yes, you’re in good company. According to comScore, the average American adult spent approximately 3 hours on their mobile phones every single day in 2018. Total up the hours was estimated to spend on social media apps over a lifetime, and the total comes to a remarkable 5 years and 4 months.

So, if you’ve ever questioned whether that weird feeling you get every time you scroll Youtube is a sign of real addiction, you can officially stop believing that it’s not. Recovery starts with acknowledging your problem. I have a slew of lousy smartphone addictions and no clue how they got there or how to change them.

Have you been on Facebook? Then you know that online quizzes are pretty entertaining. You might learn something about Smartphone addiction for the first time.  The Smartphone Compulsion Test was developed by David Greenfield, Ph.D.. Dr. Greenfield runs the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.

According to Dr. Greenfield, if you answer “yes” to more than 5 out of the 15 questions, this indicates a person is likely a problematic compulsion to their mobile device. Can we admit that things will change for the better, or are we doomed?
