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?

Do they don't know how to turn off notifications of do they just don't care?

Most people (not just teenagers) just don't care. One of my favourite things to do when I'm visiting my parents is to open their phones and click on the clear all notifications button. Watching all those notifications slide away is so satisfying.
