Scott Greer does a good job summarising the causes and effects of the hopelessly amorphous problem of "tech addiction".

The title alludes to practical advice to limit addiction on a personal or societal scale, but the author makes it clear he can't answer his own question. I don't blame him for it. We have to look iteratively for many possible solutions, just like we got here step-by-step with each new device and each new platform. Asking the question is where that starts.
