The viral TikTok starring Cat showcases a transparent acrylic device dubbed a 'methaphone,' which appeared authentic to viewers but is an experiment to challenge smartphone addiction. Cat explains her friend's intention: to see whether this physical substitute can help individuals recognize their dependency on actual smartphones. As it gained significant attention, Cat invites others to engage in social experiments with the methaphone, documenting their experiences to further the conversation around phone addiction and its societal implications.
The 'methaphone' was created to test our addiction to smartphones by replacing the physical device with an acrylic mock-up, examining if it can reduce dependency.
Cat shared that her friend invented the methaphone to explore whether the illusion of holding a phone might curb habitual smartphone use in everyday situations.
