(UNDATED) - A recent study by AT&T ranks Indiana in fifth place among states most obsessed with the internet.
Psychologist Dr. John Huber says there can be long term serious consequences from too much screen time.
The study says Indiana has one of the heaviest search volumes in the nation.
It also says half of the Indiana population, about three-million residents, operates an Instagram account.
Huber says the more Hoosiers replace active past times with idle screen time, the more at risk they are for osteoporosis and heart disease.
Teens growing up addicted to their smartphones are more at risk for depression.
