Device Addiction
Device Addiction
Device addiction is a real issue for many teens out there. The key signs of device addiction include always scrolling or clicking, struggling to carry on conversations in person, difficulties being without the device for more than a few minutes and trouble sleeping.
But why does device addiction occur? When we experience a small reward, such as a like, a new follower or a new level in a game, our brain releases a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine brings our brain pleasure and happiness. And our brain craves more.
Each time we get a burst of dopamine from using our device, it signals to our brain to continue to do this, in order to get more of the chemical. This can build a habit, or even further an addiction, where we click and scroll mindlessly, our brain trying to get another hit of dopamine from our device.
