Technology is definitely a factor but it's not the phone itself that's even responsible. The phone is just a thing. What these studies never seem to question (and the central thesis of Mark Fisher's political work) was that social atomization and the increasing prevalence of mental dysfunction are results of the specific way in which technology is deployed. Consumption, both of media and products, has been substituted for experiences, fulfillment, and genuine community connections.

It's so much deeper than "phone bad."

I didn't mean to suggest "sex good, phone bad," just that people are choosing to spend their time on one thing rather than the other. If anything, it's good that teens have reduced their risky behaviors.
