Daily Dose of Addiction (Brianna, Lauren, and Michelle)

Have you ever felt your phone vibrate but there were no notifications? Has someone ever told you that you are addicted to social media? In this week’s podcast, Lauren, Brianna, and Michelle dive into addiction and its relation to social media. They start off diving a little bit into their own social media usage. They then reference Boyd’s article and talk about why teens seem to have “less freedom” than ever before and mention how the “addiction” relates to phantom vibration syndrome. To end the conversation, they tie in the “Social Dilemma” documentary on Netflix and Feifer’s “You are not “addicted” to social media” podcast.
