We spend half our lives online nowadays and it’s obviously causing damage to our health. Do you think it would be worth the benefits to stop carrying a smartphone and to disable the WiFi at home?

    I think the premise is questionable. After a quick google search it was easy to find studies showing that internet access is beneficial to health.

    “The results indicate that access to the Internet significantly improves the average health condition and alleviates health inequality.”

    “There is increasing evidence demonstrating a strong relationship between broadband access, Internet adoption, and health outcomes.”
