I\u0026rsquo;m the second kind. Maybe everyone who uses the service is now. It doesn\u0026rsquo;t have to be Twitter, either. For you it might be Facebook, or Instagram, or Snapchat, or whatever other app that was built to farm your attention and now successfully reaps it abundantly.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor me, the loathing is multiple. First, there\u0026rsquo;s the compulsion of loading the app at all: of flicking its infinite scroll whenever I\u0026rsquo;m idle, even just briefly\u0026mdash;at a stoplight, in front of the microwave, in the bathroom. Then there are the things I see there: the angry or bitter or stupid posts that make me angry or bitter or stupid in turn. And the things I share on the service, too: things I regret, or come close enough to posting to produce a phantom guilt that feels equally bad.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2019\/09\/why-apple-screen-time-mostly-makes-things-worse\/597397\/\u0022\u003ERead the full story here.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lmc.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EThe School of Literature, Media, and Communication\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a unit of the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/iac.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EIvan Allen College of Liberal Arts.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"34559","created_gmt":"2019-09-09 16:38:53","changed_gmt":"2019-09-09 16:38:53","author":"pdemerritt3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"JS Coon Building","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2019\/09\/why-apple-screen-time-mostly-makes-things-worse\/597397\/","dateline":{"date":"2019-09-09T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2019-09-09T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"599763":{"id":"599763","type":"image","title":"Ian Bogost","body":null,"created":"1513011274","gmt_created":"2017-12-11 16:54:34","changed":"1539182171","gmt_changed":"2018-10-10 14:36:11","alt":"Portrait photo of School of Literature, Media, and Communication professor Ian Bogost","file":{"fid":"228650","name":"NEW_Preferred2018_IanBogost.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/NEW_Preferred2018_IanBogost.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/NEW_Preferred2018_IanBogost.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":2519019,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/NEW_Preferred2018_IanBogost.jpg?itok=cy9ipBQS"}}},"media_ids":["599763"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[{"id":"151","name":"Policy, Social Sciences, and Liberal Arts"}],"keywords":[{"id":"3663","name":"Ian Bogost"},{"id":"11789","name":"The Atlantic"},{"id":"182259","name":"Apple Screen Time"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
