Understanding Screen Time Awareness

Average screen time for individuals can be surprisingly high, often exceeding initial estimates. Participants discuss their weekly and daily screen time, revealing that much of it is linked to work-related use as well as leisure activities like social media and streaming services. This indicates a growing issue regarding screen dependency that detracts from real-life experiences and connections. An important takeaway is the need for reality checks, as the amount of time spent on screens can obscure awareness of how it impacts daily life.
