#5I think I would rather people choose to turn off their notifications, and uninstall social media rather than government intervention.
It's a lot of work though. I recently did a factory reset of an Android tablet and, wow, it's quite a lot of work to get it to shut up.
I also religiously disable any notifications on windows as well, but Microsoft have been making them a mandatory feature of some applications. Snip and Sketch for example requires you to click on the notification if you want to get to the Sketch part. I much prefer the old way. (It also had less annoying animation)

#9Why is it that every time this moral panic is written about, there are no solid studies to back it up? Surely, if there was really a society-wide epidemic of focus, there would be some clear metric for focus which researchers would have 20-30 years of data and studies on, right? This should be a very testable hypothesis, so where is all the hard science on it?
Even in this article, the author just takes some statements from neuroscientists and a study on context-switching in order to make a bunch of unfounded conjecture.
