RE: Does your smartphone create 'brain drain' just by being around you?
That's pretty wild stuff. I have read before how the tone of receiving a text or message gives a similar amount seratonin (the love hormone) released into your body as when you receive a hug. We are set up to feel good about using our phones. At least once we start and become conditioned to them. I recently deleted my Instagram and Facebook from my phone and I would often find myself grabbing my phone and swiping back and forth doing nothing, where I would have previously been on one of the two sites doing the same. Kinda of scary stuff when you think about it.
Very interesting, thanks for adding that.
That is also very interesting, and more funny :) The automated habit of scrolling, expecting to do that behavior. Was there a feeling of something "lost"?
Yeah, I would flip back and forth between the two screens on my iphone that hold all my apps, with no intended purpose at all. So not scrolling, but essentially the same automated response. Honestly, it scared me a bit.
