I feel like we should have enough research. We've had smartphones for a decade and access to the internet for 2 decades now. As for the rising depression and suicide rates, I feel like that's mainly caused by other events like school stresses and family life. I think people who are depressed use technology alot but I think it's rare that technology actually causes depression. Although I could be wrong, I've seen studies that binge watching TV leads to mild depression, and then there's the social media thing of people comparing their normal life to other peoples best moments and getting sad that way. But mainly I think depressed people use technology more, not the other way around

Typical Vox garbage. The headline is a fallacy. Why are we assuming it does anything to teenagers' brains in the first place? More research isn't going to help. The issue is the quality of the research that trash media outlets like Vox publish like it's the gospel. Mathematics is about the only thing left we can 'prove'. Even physics is turning out to be an approximation. Next up on Vox: What happens when a butterfly farts over the Atlantic Ocean? Is butter actually ~~bad~~ ~~good~~ ~~bad~~ good for you? Why scientists ~~who work for grant money only awarded to those with the most cataclysmic predictions~~ say climate change is going to make the earth uninhabitable in 10 years from any point in the future, to be updated constantly.
