    It’s not wrong. What do you think your smartphone is?

      A mobile computer heavily optimized to exploit the mental weaknesses of most users to distract and advertize to them as often as possible, while extracting and selling their information.

      But it’s also device occassionally reworked by some users to not be so obnoxious, and just a very useful and variable tool with access to an unprecedented library of knowledge. But that really is pretty rare.

        Is there any evidence that it’s being overprescribed? I only ask because I know prescriptions have jumped but I also know that women over 30 are seen as an epidemic of those never diagnosed, and now that they are finally being diagnosed (and some choose to start medication) I wonder if it’s that it’s overprescribed or if we’re just catching up?
