I think a lot of people are missing the point. That could be attributed to the poor title, though.

The way I see it, pre-phone their daughter was probably much more engaged with her parents and was doing more manual creative stuff. After the phone appeared, she distanced herself and got absorbed by it.

I don't get why so many people here are trying to defend smartphones/social media?

Isn't it pretty obvious they are addictive? And to a young kid, that doesn't know any better, it can get really bad.
