RE: Smartphones Aren't Addictive, Social Interaction Is

in #psychology7 years ago

If social interaction were addictive rather than smart phones, we would be interacting with each other in shops, streets, busses, and anywhere out in public. Sadly we would rather gaze into a screen rather than into the physical face of others. Phones are addictive. Just like slot machines are. You hope to get the reward or payout on slot machines. You hop to get the payout of info on your phone. Same too with Steemit. You hope to get the results of your post of comments. Now I am going to post this and read some more blogs tonight to support my addiction! LOL @krnel

It's easier. You don't need to move to meet someone, or multiple people at once which is impossible, it can be done at any time. It's convenient to bypass physical locality.

Ah yes! Convenience leads to laziness. Thanks @krnel

why sadness? why is it bad that people communicate through screens instead of look at the physical face of others?
