Smartphones are absolutely a huge contribution to the mental wellbeing of people today. It's pretty fucked up, tbh, that anybody anywhere can choose to interrupt your day on their whimsy
True. But not what people are depressed about. People want to be able to won a home, have kids, go on vacation, and retire at some point. The way things are going right now that's not looking likely. Smartphones may not help but they aren't the cause either.
To be entirely fair, those things wouldn't be impacting anyone's health if the news never reached them (through their iphones). Both points are technically true. My ass completely missed all those civil wars when I was growing up because I was playing neopets.
Pretty sure the fubar'd economy would be plenty apparent without the iPhone.
