10-12 hours per day mostly Reddit and YouTube as background noise at 64 yrs old. Talk about dope- this is the most difficult addiction I’ve dealt with and it’s ruining me.

I am a licensed professional counselor who works with children. So many of them tell me how fast they think time is going- which as a 56 year old, gen-xer, sounds so crazy to me. Time seemed to Draaaaggg thru a school year. The sceeen addiction might be what is causing this! Thanks for this information.

I typically hate the hypocrisy of being told on the internet to use it less, BUT this was very insightful without being finger waggy.

I don't know how to say it, but chris has this way of speaking in color, while most of us speak in black and white while discussing problems. I feel his way makes it more easy to break down problems for the innocent minds out there!

The whole gen z should watch this video, and actually not just us, because as Catherine so rightly said, we're seeing more and more elderly people stuck on their phones....
