Through observations and studies on specific cases of university students and through the behavior of most young people and even the elderly and the great addiction to mobile phones, which have turned into a safe haven for most people. The danger lies in addiction and wasting time and great effort in browsing websites and entertainment that consume time and effort, in addition to controlling behaviors and directing them in the wrong direction, especially for young people. Which poses a serious threat to their sound behaviors and even to their future. And the great social and economic damage resulting from this addiction. All of the above makes us confirm that mobile phones and laptop computers, instead of being useful tools and improving the scientific, social and economic level, have turned into harmful electronic drugs.
The apparatuses are addictive as they obviously reward a person by releasing feeling-good neurotransmitters like dopamine. They are like drugs but not drugs nevertheless. If you are a greedy person you can also become addictive to look at your bank account (if you have something there).
If you get an el shock every time you touch the cell phone or laptop you may be weaned off from these addiction.
I would say that it is the content displayed on laptops and phones that it is addictive, not the laptops and phones itself. If you never turned on a phone or laptop, would it still be addictive? No. It's the content and apps run on them that are designed and built to be addictive (think Fogg behavior model).
No, cell phones and laptops are not electronic drugs. Electronic drugs are digital tools that are used to influence the brain in an artificial way, such as through electrical or magnetic stimulation. Cell phones and laptops are electronic devices, but they are not used to influence the brain in an artificial way.
Thank you very much for your reply, but I mean addiction in terms of social and economic effects, loss of time, effort and money, and finally health.
