A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

I'm so glad I don't get more than about 10 notifications a day (outside of work emails anyway).

Same. I find that even that many is a significant distraction.

All of my notifications are from friends and family talking to me about stuff, so it's not a terrible thing. I have zero notifications from Lemmy or emails or anything.
