1. The irony of watching this video on a phone lmao

2. Self discipline.
   Turn it on only when it’s needed.
   Delete all social media apps.

3. Marketing promotional video behind providing information…
   It's cheating

4. While watching this video youtube recommending/ showing me smart phones advertising. In between 😂😂😂
   How Funny 🤣

5. Social media and smart phones destroyed human Life mentaly physically

6. I wounder if this conclusion works with computers, too.

7. Especially 5G and above. Super toxic

8. I used to have more than 5 hours of daily screen time on my phone before I realized how much time I wasted on contents from which I learn nothing. I then decided to halve the screen time to 2 and a half hours. The biggest takeaway I get from doing it is that I am able to do way more things in a day. I think it is as rewarding as getting up everyday an hour earlier than before, something I shall do in the long run. 🙂

9. it is not the smartphone, it is people's habits

10. Go scan a woke person's brain. It will show the exact data this research is saying.

11. Well i just got an iphone 15 pro and i m planning to only use it in a good way

12. multi task on the job. Corporation : Lets blame smart phone for low productivity.
    CO2 emission. Corporation : Lets blame car owners. insert Taylor swift.
    Obesity. Corporation : Lets blame fatty food instead of sugar.
    Low wages. Corporate again : lets create contractuals project base and dont pay their benefits.

    Classic Corporation scheme goes on.

13. Thankyou for this video, it's put a light on something we always knew but ignored

14. 11:00 Brain drain

15. الي من نفس لغتي موجودين ؟ وشرايكم بالكلام ؟

16. Thank you for this informative video. I stopped or limited Facebook use and I noticed I felt happier. It's true that social media is like hypnotizing and controlling us as well as multitasking

17. we are taking help from phone to quit using phone
    is that gonna work?

18. Im addicted to watching documentaries 😂 i think i actually gain knowledge because of the fast network of information at my fingertip. If only i can remember them all..

19. I knew it

20. 100 years ago they said driving in crazy speed ( 30 km/h ) will make you crazy

21. I find myself cycling through checking different things on my phone. I hate it. These have become subconcious habits.

22. 29 mins of listening to pure garbage. here let me shorten this video with my take.

    brain works when you watch videos. the light is work, the processing of that light is work, the sound from that video is work, the processing of that sound is work, the information is work, the processing of that information is work, and lastly, the decision between breathing and focusing is work. do you breath in and out from your nose regardless of what is in front of you>? if not then you are shrinking your brain. if you go to the gym and you are exhausted then you will eventually destroy your body and never recover nor will you get any gains.

23. This video is pretty basic tbf. Nothing new or different shared. And the editing is basic

24. how laptops affects our brain?

25. That was a pretty wild ad within the context of this video lol

26. "stop multi tasking"
    Me making food and eating while listening to this video: 😥

27. I have known all this and been been saying it — every major point mentioned in this video, including the physical effects — for 13 years, so none of this is really new. (I'm a physicist, engineer and historian.) It's made me rather unpopular. A few years ago, I started to noticed that the devastating effects of social media combined with smartphones were being taken more seriously. As these problems have been taken more seriously, more data have been accumulated and it's gotten much harder to say "yeah, well, you can't prove that." Now we know and the message is seeping out, but the question is: can our societies change course before it's too late? I hope so, but I still have my doubts.

    Thank you for this video.

28. I am not addicted to my phone. And how much I use, I want to reduce it too. I want to save myself, save the world.
    Thank you for this video. ❤

29. I have got NOTHING under control sir

30. Full of promotion and ad

31. I feel safe to say that I am not addicted to my phone.

32. I saw one statistics saying that smartphone usage population had gone up to about 90% throughout almost every age groups. Surprisingly our family is addicted too haha

33. So true. Try teaching this generation of teens anything in a classroom or outdoors, anywhere really, you'll struggle. They struggle to concentrate, to commit things into memory, and how to read fluently. I teach English to home speakers, and Computer Applications and Technology (CAT) to Teens around 15-18 years of age. Cellphones and social media is killing them, they never want to sit and be bored. Their essays are so bad, no imagination, awful grammar, and most of them are just apathetic towards their studies.

    I monitor my own smartphone usage, being careful not to stay on social media apps. I have deleted Facebook (2014 have not gone back) and now recently Twitter, simply because I just could not handle the amount of vitriol on the sight, seems to have gotten worse under Elon.

    The multitasking thing is quite true. I have done experiments with my kids where they were allowed to be on their phones as I read to them children's short story. Afterwards I gave them comprehension questions on the story. None of them passed, even the ones who always say, "Sir I concentrate better while I'm on my phone".

34. Thanks for this wonderful episode and advices

35. Increased anxioussness for sure due to the phone. Should be researched more for the global population, and for myself, quitting as much as possible with social media (which includes whatsapp)

36. the irony of watching this video on phone.

37. I am like the only person around that seems to exist WITHOUT a Smartphone… gawd I am such a freakin' weirdo!

38. I would like to express my gratitude to my smartphone for facilitating my access to this video content.

39. I don't carry one. Brain intact.
    It's lonely until enough will catch on – hope they will have enough brain power left to converse by then.
    The Borg are not interesting.

40. these phones are brain suicide

41. The only social media I use is YouTube and that only to learn new things or to watch documentaries. 🤷🏻‍♀️

42. There should be study how the fundamental religions change brain for worse it's worse than smart phone effect

43. phones bad mkay

44. This is such a bias story. A smartphone is a tool, how you decide to use it is your choice. It can be used for educational purposes that will actually grow your neural network, Also, you can't physically shirk a brain.

45. I have turned off notifications for social media apps. Since then I've substantially decreased the use of them. However since then those apps were pushing other kind of notifications so I can get back in it.. crazy how they really want us to use them.

46. Watching this on my smartphone

47. How to undo the damage done?

48. And yet here it is on YouTube; stinks like double standards as per usual and these people who conduct this "research" would be out of work.
