Addiction by Design-How we became the gambling industry’s lab rats
About this episode
The episode explores the intersection of smartphone addiction and gambling, highlighting its impact on society.
How many times do you look at your smartphone each day? How often do you pick it up? How aware are you of how it makes you feel? On Thursday’s Free State we looked at how gambling has got out of control. Today Dion and Joe examine how what we are dealing with is an entirely new phenomenon, a supercharged addiction of smartphone and gambling, a dopamine hit of huge power. We look at the demographic most affected and ask when will people do enough to help them? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
