Smartphones are absolutely a huge contribution to the mental wellbeing of people today. It’s pretty fucked up, tbh, that anybody anywhere can choose to interrupt your day on their whimsy
Just because someone calls/texts doesn’t mean you have to answer. Adjust your alerts for your comfort, not others.
True. But not what people are depressed about. People want to be able to won a home, have kids, go on vacation, and retire at some point. The way things are going right now that’s not looking likely. Smartphones may not help but they aren’t the cause either.
Definitely I identified with this meme not because I think having a phone on your person at all times is a boon to my mental health, but because I identify with the idea that’s it’s relative detriment is much lower than other societal woes.
Rest assured the Earth will be just fine. It isn’t dying by any stretch of the word.
It’s changing. Changing in a way that isn’t conducive to human life.
We earned this. It’s time to take our medicine. We either change, today, or we die. It’s that simple.
you got me in the first half. although, at this rate, the earth may turn unsuitable for any life whatsoever. or at least any microbiological life.
I don’t think we, humans, will survive long enough to do real, long lasting “damage” to this world. We simply don’t have that power.
In truth, we are pissants on the ass of a titan. A nuisance but nothing more.
Once momma shrugs her shoulders we are done.
Meanwhile their constantly watching conspiracy videos on their phones
Also them: “Don’t trust everything you see on the internet”
To be entirely fair, those things wouldn’t be impacting anyone’s health if the news never reached them (through their iphones). Both points are technically true. My ass completely missed all those civil wars when I was growing up because I was playing neopets.
Pretty sure the fubar’d economy would be plenty apparent without the iPhone.
