College students asked to give up their phones and other digital media for 24 hours reported withdrawal‑like symptoms and mood changes in recent “digital detox” studies. When phones, social media, and streaming were taken away, many students described feeling anxious, restless, bored, and even “lonely,” with some comparing the experience to going “cold turkey.” Researchers say the most common reactions were fear of missing out, trouble concentrating, and a sense of being cut off from friends and family.

345p-HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY WNBA
The WNBA came into existence 30 years ago — on April 24, 1996, when the NBA Board of Governors approved its creation. The league launched with eight founding franchises split between Eastern and Western Conferences, including the Charlotte Sting, Houston Comets, New York Liberty, Los Angeles Sparks, and four others. Unlike previous attempts at professional women’s basketball in the U.S., the WNBA had something its predecessors lacked: the full institutional and financial backing of the NBA, right down to a “Logo Woman” design that deliberately mirrored the iconic NBA logo. Riding a wave of enthusiasm following the U.S. women’s national team’s gold medal performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics, the league tipped off its inaugural season on June 21, 1997, with the New York Liberty defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 67–57 before a crowd of more than 14,000.
