This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

It's not just teens. Adults can struggle with screen time, too.

We talk with Wallace Jackmon, Ph.D., from Avera Behavioral Health about when cell phone use turns into an addiction. And we cover tips about how to limit your time mindlessly scrolling.

Plus, we explore how social media algorithms could influence how you vote.
