I have often wondered why my older children have such a lack of interest in family and do not interact any longer, at a family get together all on their phone. No empathy.

I admit I have become addicted to watching YouTube videos, it’s way too much time staring at our phones 📱
I noticed in my settings you can see your watch time and request a - Take a break !
Yes aren’t children now even having issues with forward head posting .
I specifically remember thanksgiving dinner everyone was in their phones .
Someone noticed and said, Well I’m glad we could all get together 😢😵‍💫 it’s true I admit it !
I feel like I have to rewatch videos, rewind because I’m not retaining the information, also poor posture and forward head posture tfs

Funny. I found this video because I’m so addicted to YouTube. I listen to podcasts and videos all day long. I’ve learned so much from YouTube videos. I take my phone with me as I do my chores even gardening outside. But I have recently started reading nonfiction books again and that’s a nice change too. How does reading books all the time affect the brain? Is it addicting too? All my life before the internet I read books all the time! I’m an introvert obviously. I really like learning new things that interest me.

I gained a lot of insight through this. We all know to much screen time isn’t good. It is hard to limit it. It is a tool that we shouldn’t let fill all of our time. There is so much we miss out on when we fill free time or waiting time with the screens. I appreciate you openly talking about scripture and the applying the truth of the word into the video. Keep up the good work. I wish I could come to your clinic but I am not in the area. Thank you for the content.

The silence you mentioned is boredom which must not be remedied by a cell phone but instead by conciously doing something constructive to replace the boredom, like a hobby

[lizrichard]

I have proved your theory is correct by going through a season of just wanting to be on my cell phone almost
constantly. I had a lot of the symptoms you describe.
I stopped it, and my short term memory got better again, and I was more productive, interactive and observant of my surroundings.

I’m on my phone making a comment😂. I am not always on my phone, but always function better with background noise like music or having the tv on. I attributed that to many years on Navy vessels where there is constant noise from machinery and ventilation fans etc.

Happy to see you Doc! Glad you survived the storm.

Thank you for being a man of science &a man of God!

I noticed my son has developed a tick. He snorts. I am a going to show him this video. Thank You. p.s. I love "forgetting" my phone at home when I run errands.😁

Thank you Dr Hauser
I developed burning eyes and macular degeneration from looking at my phone.
Then changed to utube videos and now it is causing terrible headaches and pain for me. I am 73 and love natural medicine

Sanibel island maybe should not restore wireless for a month haha. I moved where the signal is the slowest. Sometimes I can't even make a call at all. My usage has dropped drastically. I use at night like staring into a fire for a half hour...then the signal drops and I give up. I write emails 30 min every morning. Then the messages won't send. I walk away.

Thanks so much for the great information here! I've been wondering and praying that you guys would be safe from Hurricane Ian. So good to hear from you today with your video! Thank you all!! 🙏❤️🙏

I preach this to my students but I'm pretty sure it falls on deaf ears. I don't use a cell phone...never have, and I'm the only one I know who doesn't. I also experience situations where I am discriminated against because of it. It has become almost mandatory to own a cell phone. I know that makes me a dinosaur (almost 70) but I refuse. I see many of the traits mentioned in the video, in students on campus and in the public in general. I'm really glad to see content such as this video. (I'm watching it on my laptop!) ;o)

Lately I feel a strong urge to take a sledge hammer to my laptop and cell phone.
I love my m sister's response "LIKE ME IN REAL LIFE!!!"

My 32 year old son committed suicide in March this year and shared with me he went on dating apps to try to find a mate to marry and have children. He was shot down by many girls for being a pool maintenance man. They laughed him. They laughed at the car he drove (older big Dodge truck). It was so easy for people to ridicule electronically and they do.

[Travelwithme]

I am here, I am addicted, I spend 12/day
I have all the symptoms
I needed to hear this
Thank you
I said no to addiction starting today, I will do it for my daughter and husband

[susanhanlon]

I love this talk and all of your videos! I was pleasantly surprised that you are a Christian who looks to God's word.

[aurichbillwilliams]

The joy of the Lord's your strength 💪 🙏....thank you very much sir.

[IvySnowFillyVideos]

Thank you...and preach how this is destroying our children's future.

[Buildinup]

Thank you for bringing up the point of leaving it in your car when you work! I never really accepted that behavior! Or at dinner, or, especially, when in company of other humans. Its just disrespectful. Please, at least, excuse yourself, first!!!
