Increasing smartphone usage temporarily diminishes the ability to interpret the deeper meaning of information

quote [ A recently published study -- which included two controlled experiments -- has found that smartphone use can lead to a diminished ability to analyze and reason about the meaning of information. ]

I lost a marriage to a cell phone, well, that and her crippling anxiety about her terrible life she was trying to avoid via her social media.

No kids though, thank the maker.

...I wanted kids though, kids to teach to not abuse their endorphins using assorted screens.

seriously though, someone's comment:

Paragraph at the end of the paper

However, Study 3 showed that, after a 4‐week interval, the difference in the ability to interpret and analyze meaning between lower and higher phone usage groups was no longer evident. The findings of this study suggest that, even in the rare cases where smartphones might alter cognition, this effect is likely transitory.

if your phone is so smart, you don't have to be?

That's what the research is for. I'd be interested in the results, myself.
