In his article “Does repeating a falsehood make it true?”, Nir Eyal explains why it’s wrong for people to assume that addiction is to blame for excessive use of mobile devices and social media, by pointing out that society is quick to label such behaviors as an addiction rather than bad habits that need lifestyle changes to overcome. Ultimately, he makes the argument that excessive usage of cell phones and social media doesn’t mean that they’re addictive and that claiming such is false and only serves to rob us of our agency to act which ultimately plays into the tech company’s hand, however Eyal fails to mention the studies that point to a correlation between excessive mobile device and social media usage and an increase in teenage ADHD and cases of depression.
