Anyone think technology causes or at least contributes to anxiety?

I feel like when I skim mindlessly through media I feel a little anxious and less relaxed? As opposed to when I sit down and take the time to read a long passage or something that really requires a substantial amount of concentration time. Instead of having our focus jumping around literally every second or two focusing on things for longer bits of time could help the mind slow down and become less anxious. Anyways this is just a theory of mine. This is comprehensively explained in the book "The Shallows" but I do not know if there was any mention of anxiety in that book as I haven't gotten around to reading it myself. Just curious as to what other people think of this? Do you feel more anxious when you habitual skim through the internet most of your day? And how do you feel after spending the day slowing down your mind by reading a book or a long passage on the internet?

 

We should definitely try it. I think I went a week or so heavily limiting my technology use. Even only allowed myself to watch one episode of my favorite show a day. The rest of the day I literally spent it staring at my ceiling and occasionally reading. Whether my mind felt clearer I can not remember. But I can definitely say I feel pretty shitty and unfulfilled after mindlessly browsing the internet and youtube all day.
