Google Bard:

Sure, here is an annotated bibliography on the impacts of iPhones on human physical and mental

health, communication, and social connections:

1. Twenge, J. M. (2017). iGen: Why today's super-connected kids are growing up less rebellious,

more tolerant, less happy--and completely unprepared for adulthood--and what that means for

the rest of us. New York: Atria Books.

This book explores the impact of smartphones, particularly iPhones, on the generation of young

people born after 1995, known as iGen. Twenge argues that iGen's unprecedented levels of

smartphone use have led to a decline in their mental health, social skills, and overall well-being.
She cites numerous studies that show correlations between smartphone use and depression,

anxiety, and loneliness.

This source is not cited correctly and has an incorrect publishing date but it does come up when

searched in google. The explanation does match the actual source and it does contain good

information for the relationship between tech and mental health. This source could probably be

used for a project on our topic.

2. Przybylski, A. K., & Weinstein, N. (2017). A large-scale test of the Goldilocks hypothesis:

Quantifying the relations between digital-screen use and the mental well-being of adolescents.

Psychological Science, 28(2), 204-215.

This study examined the relationship between digital-screen use, including iPhone usage, and the

mental well-being of adolescents. The researchers found that there was a curvilinear relationship

between screen time and well-being, with moderate levels of screen time being associated with

the highest levels of well-being. This suggests that there is a "Goldilocks" zone for screen time,

and that too much or too little screen time can be detrimental to mental health.

This site does exist and it does give a pretty good background on describing how digital

technology has had a negative impact on all aspects of our lives, mentally, physically, and

through social connections and communications. However, the link that Google Bard gave us

led us to a Wikipedia page on economics in Russia.

3. Greenfield, S. (2017). Mind change: How digital technologies are leaving their mark on our

brains. New York: Random House.

This book explores the impact of digital technologies, including iPhones, on the human brain.

Greenfield argues that our brains are constantly adapting to the new technologies we use, and

that this adaptation can have both positive and negative consequences. She cites research that

shows that smartphone use can lead to changes in attention, memory, and social cognition.

This source isnt exactly a site. It is a pdf that is 329 pages long. Google bard did not give a link

to access this, I had to look it up myself. Although when I did look it up the pdf, it gives alot of

information about individual topics.

4. Turkle, S. (2015). Reclaiming conversation: The power of talk in a digital age. New York:

Penguin Books.

This book argues that our reliance on digital communication, including iPhone messaging and

social media, is eroding our ability to have meaningful face-to-face conversations. Turkle

contends that these conversations are essential for our social and emotional development, and

that their decline is having a negative impact on our relationships and our sense of community.

This site does exist but the thing that is cited is not the actual article or book that has the

information that is given. It is an overview of the author and the different things she has done/

researched. Basically just an overview of her book

5. Misra, S., Cheng, L., Genevie, J., & Yuan, M. (2016). The iPhone effect: The quality of

in-person social interactions in the presence of mobile devices. Environment and Behavior,

48(2), 275-298.
This study examined the impact of iPhones on the quality of in-person social interactions. The

researchers found that the presence of an iPhone, even if it was not being used, led to a decrease

in the quality of the interaction. This suggests that the mere presence of a smartphone can be a

distraction and can interfere with our ability to connect with others.

This site does exist and we used it to perform our research. It is a reliable source and it describes

how iPhones have impacted social interactions. Google Bard didn’t give any link to anything,

but this website is good and reliable.
