The Rise of Distraction in Modern Life
The advent of smartphones around 2007 significantly changed how people interact with their environment and information. Many individuals now spend extensive hours glued to their screens, often prioritizing digital communication over real-life connections and reflections, which were more commonplace before this digital age. This shift has coincided with alarming increases in mental health issues such as depression and anxiety among both adults and children, indicating a deeper societal problem. The normalization of constant digital engagement has led to reduced opportunities for solitude and introspection, which are essential for mental clarity.
