Atlantic Magazine asks “Why Is There a ‘Gaming Disorder’ But No ‘Smartphone Disorder?’”

The question isn’t answered in the article, but the answer is simple. We live in a gynocentric world, so what women do (spend hours a day looking at FaceBook or Instagram on their smartphone) is considered normal, but what guys do, especially nerdy guys, is considered abnormal behavior.

Also, I remembered that around the year 2000, people were worried about “internet addiction,” but that idea disappeared after it became “normal” for everybody to spend hours a day surfing the web.
