Mr. John Rice+FollowCan Exercise Really Break Phone Addiction?Let’s talk about the latest research out of China: college students who exercise more are less likely to fall into the smartphone addiction trap. It’s not just about burning calories—physical activity seems to boost self-control and reduce stress, both of which are key in resisting the endless scroll. Is the gym the next big digital detox tool, or are we underestimating the psychological hooks of our devices? Where do you stand on this mind-body tech debate? #SmartphoneAddiction #DigitalWellness #TechAndHealth #SelfControl #MentalHealth #PhysicalActivity #Tech50Share
Brandon Burke+FollowIs Social Media Making Teens Sadder?Turns out, all that scrolling isn’t just harmless fun for teens. A new Pew report says nearly half of teens think social media is mostly bad for their age group—way up from just a couple years ago. Sure, it helps them stay connected and express themselves, but it’s also messing with their sleep, productivity, and mental health. Parents are even more worried than the teens themselves! Makes you wonder if we all need a little digital detox now and then. #TeenMentalHealth #SocialMedia #DigitalWellness #Parenting #PewResearch #Health31Share
brett13+FollowIs Group Chat Muting a Game Changer?Ever wish you could mute your family group chat without ghosting everyone? Google Messages is testing a snooze feature that lets you silence group notifications for an hour, a day, or even forever—without anyone knowing. You can even fine-tune it to only get pinged if someone tags you directly. Would this make you more likely to stick around in noisy chats, or does it just encourage more group spam? Curious to hear how you’d use it! #GoogleMessages #GroupChat #TechDebate #DigitalWellness #MessagingApps #Tech80Share
Brandon Burke+FollowTeens Are Wising Up to Social Media’s Dark SideDid you know nearly half of teens now say social media is bad for their age group? A new Pew survey found teens are finally calling out the 'hacking of the brain'—from lost sleep to feeling like everyone else’s life is perfect. Girls are feeling it even more, but boys aren’t immune (hello, fitness pressure). The wild part? Most teens think it’s a problem for others, not themselves. But a bunch are already cutting back. Are we seeing the start of a social media reality check? #TeenMentalHealth #SocialMedia #PewResearch #GenZ #DigitalWellness #Health121Share
