PASSAGE
In 2019, psychologist Maren Okafor summarized survey research in Attention Economies: participants reported their daily phone use and also completed a task measuring how quickly they recovered focus after interruptions. Okafor notes a tempting interpretation—heavy use must cause poor attention—but points out that the strongest pattern ran the other way: people who already struggled to regain focus were more likely to check their phones frequently, perhaps seeking brief relief from frustration. She adds that design features like notifications still matter, yet she argues that effective interventions must address underlying attentional difficulty rather than blaming devices alone.
