On the occasion of Apple’s 50th anniversary,CEO Tim Cook stated in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" that he did not want users to rely too much on the iPhone and called on everyone to "get out of the screen and return to nature."Cook, 65, told host Michael Strahan on the show that he doesn't want people to "look at their smartphones longer than they look into each other's eyes."
He's even more opposed to endless scrolling. "That's not how you spend your day. Get out and be in nature."
A recent study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry pointed out that smartphones have become "an indispensable part of life" for many people, but excessive use not only causes physical discomfort, but may also trigger feelings of loneliness, anxiety and depression.
In addition, when talking about the AI wave, Cook believes that this technology has "far-reaching impact and great positive potential", but he also emphasized that the technology itself is not good or evil, "the key lies in how users and inventors use it."
