Right. The brain is like a muscle, and if it's not being engaged or challenged, then what would you expect?

You could replace these studies with: "Not using the brain is bad for the brain."

The screen itself is basically a red herring. What's on the screen matters. There's a big difference between interacting with a puzzle or strategy game and passively consuming a video, for example.

The thing is your brain is 'stimulated' but not deep enough or the right way. So everybody feels attracted to it.
