The use of digital devices has transformed our lives…though we have been warned about the mental health risks for years!
Digital devices become increasingly irresistable - the rise of addictive technology, the happiness effect, and how social media is driving a generation to appear to be living perfect lives. Lonely people are more likely to turn to social media to form social connections, but the time spent on social media can also increase loneliness. Also, an estimated twenty to forty percent of adolescents are victims of cyberbullying worldwide, although the actual number is likely much higher.
So how can we escape the attention factory and stay indistractable? Is the only solution to embrace digital minimalism and lower screen time for our family or, in fact, lower screen time for everyone else too?
Fortunately not. You don’t have to go on a 40 day social media fast, find ten arguments for deleting your social media accounts right now or constantly looking for social media dangers.
