There appears to be an increasingly convincing amount of evidence that suggests that electronic screens are addictive, whether they are used for TV shows, games, or 'net/social media. The brain becomes wired to crave the visual stimuli, and it is trained to respond accordingly. The human eye has always been attracted to movement, the more movement, the more forceful the attraction. These activities tend to support an inherent tendency toward solipsism, too, which, I think, helps to explain certain social ills growing in seriousness and number.
