Screen time, wasted time, and putting it all together, sentence 3
The trouble is that apps are built to keep you going, with autoplay and endless feeds, so "5 minutes" of scrolling quietly becomes 45.
Who acts: you, 5 minutes · What happens: be, build, keep, go, become · To what, where: trouble, apps, you
