Digital Addictions Now Surpass Alcohol and Drugs
If you can’t seem to resist a scroll through your Facebook or Instagram feed during working hours, or if you feel anxious when you can’t check your smartphone or have no signal, you might need a digital intervention. In the last few years, social media users who find it impossible to stay off their devices when they would like to resist them are seeking treatment via professionals. And they’re responding.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That isn't a hard one to see. Esp. younger twenty somethings, then you have the schools helping to create even deeper addictions by using Ipads and or computers in schools. There is more behind it than the average UNINFORMED Denialist even realizes. Even something as small as flicker rates that keep you in a trance you don't even know is happening. It's all in medical documents.

Steve Jobs knew what it would do he wouldn't even allow his own kids to use an Ipad.
Psychologist Thomas Mulholland found that after just 30 seconds of watching television the brain begins to produce alpha waves, which indicates torpid (almost comatose) rates of activity. Alpha brain waves are associated with unfocused, overly receptive states of consciousness. A high occurrence of alpha wave activity does not occur normally when the eyes are open. In fact, Mulholland’s research implies that watching television is neurologically analogous to staring at a blank wall. It’s worth noting that the goal of hypnotists is to induce slow brain wave states. Alpha waves are present during the ‘light hypnotic’ state used by hypnotherapists for suggestion therapy.
