True. Digital addiction has caused so much harm; studies are still ongoing. In the next few years, it will all be known.
It's even affecting our body directly, one of many examples I read.
Holding the phone in the same posture for an extended amount of time might result in Smartphone Pinky. Our little finger bears the weight of the phone when we hold it in one hand, causing the phone to bend. Over time, this consistent stress may result in the finger to develop a permanent bend, making it difficult to straighten.

Well....its directly tied in to "sitting" as well. Those people sitting on the couch are probably also looking at their phones.
