y'all need to do shabbath
What is it with pushing religious stuff into peoples faces? I believe it is offensive to people who either have a different religion or none at all.
One could just say: "You should do a day of digital detox every week. Like for example people do on Shabbat. Or in other ways."
I cannot see the sky from my apartment. So If have to wait until I leave for work or other reasons. I don't remember my parents having this problem with their newspaper. They did look at the newspaper before the sky every morning.
This seems to be a pretty common comparison, especially as a reply to older generations remarking on everyone always being on their phones. Kind of a meme at this point[1][2].
It really makes me think that not a lot of thought/concern is given to the major difference between print media and modern technology/social media: print media is a one-way relationship. There is no interaction between the reader and the newspaper - it's a passive information source.
Social media on the other hand is a two-way, highly interactive, highly curated information source/communication tool and that is where the comparison falls flat on it's face. To compare the two in the context of mental health/anti-social behavior/distraction etc. is missing the point.
And for anyone interested in some research on the subjects of technology and social media as it related to kids, I will always plug the non-profit I work for:

Bonus if you do a Sun salutation (yoga).

You're not wrong, but it seems to me the "addiction problem" of social media is not so much about the interactivity, but has more to do with the near infinite supply of entertainment.

Especially considering, that the printed old-fashioned Newspaper (at least if you select the right one!!!) has a professional writers and a more calm perspective on the world than social media and everything what we consume as media nowadays.
