Not excusing the price, but people these days spend multiple hours a day on their phones. Phones are as important as cars for example. How high prices can go ? Even higher imo

ihateneckbeards··on Ask HN: Does working with computers have a negative influence on life for you?
I always worked with computers unfortunately... I work about 40 - 45 hours, it's not that intense, I have time to procrastinate a bit

I suspect it's not that related to my job, I used to have the same effects when I spend lots of time playing video games. Like if the screen was 'sucking me in'
