Introduktion
Today's digital society creates convenience in everyday life that humans are not used to. It opens up opportunities for both development and simplification of our lifestyle but can also lead to distraction.
According to a study from Pewresearch (2018:08), 54% of U.S teens say they spend too much time on their cellphones.
An addiction might lead to vital consequences for teens' academic and social development. To counteract this negative trend, parents must take greater responsibility and regulate screen time for their children.
Utdrag
In the article When to limit kids’ tech use (NY-Times 2019:11), Melanie Pinola proposed that parents should put aside two hours each day without their phone.
This length can be increased for the children in the family, but it demonstrates how all people, regardless of age must have analog moments.
This also opens up time for activities that can unite the family and counteract the segregation that contoured screen time leads to.
Pinola also suggests that screens should be forbidden on all family dinners, to give everyone a vital break from the internet.
