Smartphone Shenanigans

"The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness" now that's a mouthful. But seriously the blame game is strong with smartphones these days. I guess my iPhone isn't just for scrolling through Twitter and taking selfies after all.
