> even more dangerous to apply a label like "addiction" to them

my dude, teens leaving school are crossing the street without even looking up, because they're scrolling insta. Ok so they are dumb teens. What about the crossing guard lady ? She is paid money by the school board to monitor the crossing lane so the cars don't hit the teens. Now, the crossing guard also doesn't look up, because she is scrolling insta too. How do you think all this ends ?

The same argument was literally made against newspapers and how people were ignoring each other and their environment and causing accidents. It turned out just fine.
