I devolve into the same exact patterns as this pubescent teen does when I'm overworked. Phone apps hit the same reward centers in our brain as drugs do.
It's possible that the phone displaced her craft activities because it's a lower effort dopamine hit, but I think she'd probably spend all of her time sleeping without the phone.

Imagine who in society doesn't need to imagine 12+ hours of work and has to be there, like it or not.
What proportion, do you think? How would one firm up the estimate with hard data?

Your posts are nonsensical! Is this gpt-3?
Imagine if you had a 12 hour work schedule every day. Now imagine what you would feel, if you didn't have a choice to be there. You had to be there whether you liked it or not. That's what school is like for a lot of kids. Making it extra long probably doesn't help. Many adults would probably turn to worse vices to cope with a schedule like that - alcohol, drugs etc. Extended phone use seems much more minor in comparison.
