The overriding theme of both texts is the principal cause of high engagement with smartphones in today's world. While one extract suggests that this problem is mostly related to the advancement of design technology, the other puts it down to an automated manner of humans.
The first text advocates that phone addiction stems from the technology design not humans themselves. In the world of technology, phone users and their time spent on platforms are the products to sell to advertisers. For this reason, owners try their best to have their platforms designed as delicately as possible to captivate users. According to Stossel’s share in the text, today's technology design applies psychology and neuroscience in creating user-friendly features so as to hook our attention.
Conversely, the second text asserts that high engagement in smartphones comes from humans themselves. People have the habit of unintentionally checking their phone even without distraction of the notifications. This self-disruption is even longer than the purposeful interaction with cell phones. Moreover, among all activities on the phone, scrolling features consume the most time as it provides users low-cost pleasure.
