The question is whether social media is closer to candy or cocaine. You are right that kids will chose anything other than homework but how do you explain adults spending 8 hours a day on short form platforms? Don't think TV had this kind of a hold on people. Some gamers did tend to develop obsessive tendencies over gaming but now that seems much more widespread with social media | ||

> Don't think TV had this kind of a hold on people. Tvs in the bedroom, living rooms, kitchens, they're centerpieces of rooms. Sports on all day on weekends. They got put into cars. I get together with older family and they'll put the TV on and we sit around it. They only thing with TV is it wasn't convenient enough to be in our pockets all day. | ||
