Mobile phones pack a lot of information into pocket-sized devices, which is why users may want to slow down the next time they're scrolling through social media or checking email on a mobile app. People process information more efficiently, but tend to be less vigilant about misinformation on their mobile phones compared to personal computers (PCs), according to a team led by Penn State researchers. This is especially true for users who have developed a routine or habit of using their mobile phones.
