Yeah, it's definitely way worse with phones and tablets etc even for myself and my friends - I had one friend say he can only pay attention to things for 9 seconds now due to reels and TikTok's speed.
We've cut our kid off from her iPad since ADHD has come up and she doesn't really miss it. I feel a bit guilty about allowing the iPad in the first place now - I felt she'd learn a lot about problem solving with some of the games she played but I can see the other side of it too.
