    I don’t really doubt it, but I’m also old enough to remember them saying the same thing about TV, video games, and the Internet.

      I remember them saying it would ruin attention spans. They were correct, too. Mine is fucking shot.

      My partner scrolls TikTok while watching TV.

      It’s a bit of a mixed blessing that the Internet is slowly dying; there’s less to look at anywhere so I pick up a book every once in a while now instead.
