Smartphone addiction has been found to severely affect brain function, particularly among Generation Z. Research indicates that conscientiousness, which is associated with responsibility and self-control, has drastically declined in young adults aged 16 to 39 over the past decade. This decline has reached the low 30th percentile, contrasting sharply with older adults who remain unchanged in this regard. The rise in digital media usage undermines real-life commitments, fostering distractions and behaviors such as ghosting, as face-to-face interactions diminish in frequency and importance.
The universal addiction to smartphones is actively ruining our brains especially Generation Z and at a pace that should absolutely freak everyone out.
Conscientiousness, linked to responsibility, has collapsed among young adults aged 16 to 39, plunging into the low 30th percentile in less than a decade.
The sheer convenience of the online world makes real-life commitments feel messy and effortful, leading to a decline in face-to-face interactions.
Smartphones and streaming services seem likely culprits for these personality shifts, contributing to an explosion in distraction and abandonment of real commitments.
