Jean M. Twenge, writing in The Atlantic sounds a dire warning to parents. It's worth a read. She says that there's "compelling evidence that the devices we’ve placed in young people’s hands are... making them seriously unhappy. "

Seriously unhappy? Coming from a researcher that must mean a lot.

Twenge is also the author of a study study cited here.
