Pernicious means having a very harmful effect or influence.
I think media addiction is pernicious because it makes lots of harmful situations. It can easily make people neglect important matters and makes them look at their devices every moment. This could lead them into serious health problems like turtle neck syndrome and growth imbalance. Another harmful effect could be traffic accidents where people can’t notice any obstacles while watching their devices.
