    Sure but it still doesn’t prove that the reason why it increased is the same as it was in the 80s though, the only way we could know isn’t with those two graphics but by analyzing the reasons why they do it. You’re coming to a conclusion without enough information, that’s very dangerous.

      Speaking of “enough information”:

      I think blaming cellphones, and even blaming social media to some extent, is like blaming video games in the 90’s. There’s lots of opinions, lots of “experts” who also have opinions, and not a lot of scientifically valid research to support those opinions. This is what I’m making fun of in the meme.

      You say that is “very dangerous”, maybe. I’ll note that (at the time of writing) I’m the only one who has linked to anything in support of my views and conclusions. So my views are, apparently, the least “dangerous” in the thread.
