Smartphone use goes up in city parks, but dow
New research shows that smartphone activity actually increases during visits outdoors to city parks—a finding that contradicts popular notions. Thanks to two years of unparalleled access to 700 study participants' smartphone data, the study is the first to show that young adults now spend far more time on their smartphone screens than in nature. The study also finds that people who visit forests or nature preserves experience significant declines in screen time, compared to visits to urban locations for the same duration.
