The Smart Phone Paradox
Insider intelligence predicts that users over the age of 18 will spend an average of 48 minutes per day on TikTok this year compared with 48.7 minutes for YouTube and 62 minutes for Netflix./nUsers under the age of 18 are expected to spend even more time on TikTok./nThe amount of time people spend on online platforms has increased significantly, while the total hours in a day remain the same./nThe increase in screen time may result from a hardware problem rather than a software problem./nThe smartphone paradox presents two extremes: being a phone addict or a phoneless Luddite./nAn alternative approach is to have separate devices for positive and addictive apps./nUsing a low-engagement 'kale phone' can reset the baseline and reduce dependency on the addictive 'cocaine phone'.
