Document Summary

Dopamine levels increase in your brain when you use social media. For example, you get 200 likes of your instagram post, you feel good about it and you want more. Dopamine tells your brain to want more of what makes you feel good. Dopamine is released when people smoke, gamble, etc. Too much dopamine can lead to addiction, which is when smokers get addicted, and same thing when young kids get addicted to social media/ phones/video games. Relationships are being ruined when one partner uses their phone too much, doesn"t pay attention to the other They have workshops on how to make their product or app addictive (so people will download and buy it) Steve jobs said that he limited how much technology his kids used.
