screen stats

average user

we check our phones

221 times a day 

starting at around 7:31 a.m

there goes the alarm

Facebook

the news 

the weather 

before we’ve even got out of bed 

three hours and sixteen minutes a day on our

device 

touch our phone 2,617 times per day

constantly contactable

 ceaseless barrage of emails 

calls

and texts

 selfie culture

40 per cent of our speech time

informs others about our own

subjective experiences 

fires up neural pathways

associated with reward 

activates addiction centres in the brain such as

the nucleus accumbens. 

a few selfies 

mindless updates on Facebook, I

nstagram and

Snapchat 

create a feedback

loop in your brain 

crave

more and more of the same

just like many drugs
