RE: Does your smartphone create 'brain drain' just by being around you?
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.
Very interesting, thanks for adding that.
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.
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.
