A study warns of the consequences of using a smartphone for more than two hours a day
The use of smartphones is rapidly increasing in our daily lives, but have we thought about the potential health effects of this increasing reliance on technology? A recent study warns of the impact of using a smartphone for long periods daily on our mental and physical health.
- Increased risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) :
- The study showed that people who use their smartphones for two or more hours a day are 10% more likely to develop this disorder.
- This rise is attributed to the distraction created by smartphone use, such as social media, texting, and streaming music and movies.
- Effect on attention and concentration :
- People who spend too much time using technology can become less able to focus on a single task.
- Constant use of phones prevents the mind from resting and fully focusing.
- Possible solutions :
- Reducing reliance on smartphones and setting time periods for use.
- Stay away from screens before bed to improve sleep quality.
Ultimately, we must be careful in using technology and communicate in a balanced way between the digital world and the real world.
