just my hapence,
It’s really hardly relevant whether the effect of smarthphones on the brain is chemically similar to alcohol or drugs. I assure you the wife and kids who are trying to have a meaningful conversation with their husband and father who keeps on glancing at his smartphone are not comforted by the difference.
“so why assume that everyone who prefers a smartphone to a kosherphone is addicted to the internet”
I don’t. But I do think that everyone who prefers a smartphone to a kosherphone should at the very least know the rampant problems being caused by it, and that they should try very hard to be honest with themselves about whether their family relationships and/or shmiras enayim is being affected.
The problem is that the cognitive dissonance in situations like this is very powerful.
