![]() In the US, Apple is responsible for more than half of the SM consumption, but the numbers are similar in proportion for Android users. Conversely, there appear to be no health benefits for SM users.Īdolescents spend most of their SM time on smartphones and most of the smartphone time is spent on SM, as I've often observed in my two nieces. There is a strong correlation between mental health in girls aged 13-18 using SM and symptoms of mental illness. The first warnings came from the American Academy of Pediatrics back in 2011, and it turns out that girls are more vulnerable than boys. There are now enough studies claiming that something I have been warning about for a while is now backed by science and proven beyond significant doubt: the potential harm that social media (SM) can do to young people, to both their mental and physical health. Windows 10 Pro and a bunch of hard drives will round it all out. Total noise signature is 30DB, hence the name. To ensure it all runs smoothly I added the Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1000W power supply and one of their latest cases that has headers for USB-C on the front panel and built-in wireless charging for the phone. Next, I added an on-board Intel 760P Series M.2 80mm 512GB SSD card that fits into a special slot and is a lot faster than a regular SSD. Why not an i7, you ask? After some research I found that the difference between the top-end i5 and a similar i7 was price, and very little extra power for what I would be using it for. Then I put in an Intel Core i5-8400 2.8Ghz s1151 Coffee Lake 8th-generation processor. At first I thought I'd use the on-board graphics but finally added an Asus nVidia PH-GTX1060-3GB PCIe card, which is middle-of-the-range and has 2 HDMI out ports in addition to DVI and 2 DisplayPorts that will drive my two monitors and the TV if I need to. Add 64GB of DDR4 2666MHz memory, because you can never have too much memory. I started with an Asus TUF Z390M-PRO gaming (Wi-Fi) motherboard, not because I'm that into gaming but because it has Bluetooth 5, Wi-Fi, USB-C and USB 3.1 ports. It took a while to pull together, required an eclectic set of carefully chosen components, and I paid someone to put it together for me, having done that myself too many times in the past. It has been over five years and it was time for a new PC.
