If you think addiction is about chemical dependence you need to deepen and broaden your knowledge on the subject.


Addiction has many factors. I was pointing out that crack and other drugs can form chemical dependencies that apps and screen time cannot.


Conversely there's aspects of screens that are not present in crack, such as widespread acceptance and even encouragement, hijacking of our most prioritized sense organ, etc.

If you were to design a visual drug, as a concept, you wouldn't get very far from the current state of affairs.


Completely agree.
