I don't want to debate the devastating impact of drug use, but f I look around on campus, the most abused substance seems to be the smartphone: whatsapp, facebook, instagram, reddit, pokemon. It alters the everyday behaviours and mannerisms of a whole generation and impacts not just the quality of their work as students, but their future contribution to society. Their concentration span, reading ability, social skills, and mental maturity seem to suffer from this (though they themselves are probably not really to blame for it).
Could you convince me that this is an alarmist view?
