Dude, you shouldn't let Hubski's mob mentality influence your opinions. It's not that I'm sure the author is wrong. But using a title like the one employed here screams, "I'm an out of touch alarmist here to chew out the young'n's and I'm going to use clickbait to do it!". Then, I get to: Dawg, wut? I can't continue taking any remaining analysis seriously, credentials be damned, because this person clearly lives in a perpetual state of fear. If this was my mom... wait, this actually does sound like my mom, and that's probably why I smoked a LOT of pot when I went off to college.More often, [13 year old] Athena and her friends spend time together on their phones, unchaperoned.

I'm being snarky. It's also probably not the best person to be reading these things, because anxiety and depression and 12 hours in front of a computer screen are my demons right now. Also social psychology and my research into internet addiction as an undergrad.
I'm on a 3 minute break from this exact thing, to tell you: word. This exact thing seeps into faarrrrr too many of my Hubski posts. Hang in there, we'll turn it out.anxiety and depression and 12 hours in front of a computer screen are my demons right now.
