Study after study continues to show the negative effects of spending too much time on our phones. Social media is not very “social” anymore, people report feeling lonelier than ever before, and you can develop “tech neck” and eye strain. Other studies have shown that even for adults, excessive screen time can cause thinning of the cerebral cortex, harm to learning, memory, and sleep, and even a decrease in the brain’s gray matter.
