The smartphone is no longer just a tool; it is a portable slot machine, engineered by the smartest minds in the world to hijack your biology and keep you scrolling until your eyes burn. It delivers a 24\/7 drip-feed of high-reward, cheap dopamine that leaves you anxious, envious, and exhausted.\u003cp\u003eWe are constantly told that the answer is to do \u003ci\u003emore\u003c\/i\u003e.
