Since starting to teach myself Japanese and exposing myself to Japanese media I wouldn't normally watch (like actual news and not just anime), I have seen this exact thing happen multiple times. It's like a game of Telephone, but with world events.
You think people are grabbing their phones to use every 5 min? I pick it up constantly just to swipe it on, then put it back in my pocket. That’s all I’m getting at…
I didnt see how stating being addicted to screens is me yelling “technology bad”, but I guess in hindsight I can see it now how it could have been perceived that way, Fair enough.

Dont worry, its "outside of work" so your employers can still make you sit in that cubicle for 13 hours

It's an official recommendation, not a criminal law

Less of a “cap”; more of a “max fill line”.

Unfortunately the demon is already out of the box, I doubt there’s any way to stop our addiction to our screens.

Every time I see a generic "phone bad" post I can't help but remember the good times where people lived in the moment and connected with each other.
Not a cell phone in sight, beautiful...

I doubt those people were grabbing for the newspaper every 5 minutes

"Books aren't as bad as newspapers because people don't read a new one every day like a drug addict."

And this isn't the first time a technological advancement in information sharing has been the subject of old men yelling at clouds
That's all I'm getting at

City people have always been snobs who thought they're too good to stop and smell the roses.

Country people have never had the mental capacity to care about or process the news.
