I am a psychologist who has worked with teens and families and conducted research on technology use, video games and addiction. I believe most of these fear-mongering claims about technology are rubbish. There are several common myths of technology addiction that deserve to be debunked by actual research.”
Technology is not a drug
Technology addiction is not common
Technology addiction is not a mental illness
“Tech addiction” is not caused by technology
Technology is not uniquely addictive
Technology use does not lead to suicide
