Do you spend a lot of time on screen?

[kotajikikox]

Personally i don't, i spend most of my time at work, i don't really like to spend a lot of time on things that doesn't have any benefits, i just take my phone for calls, and to learn something good on bitcointalk or post something, otherwise i do prefer to live the real life and focus on my dreams

meaning your work isn't connected in gadgets so that is fine specially if you are physical worker , but we as a screen worker(BPO or computer tech)
we have no choice but to stay at least 5 years in front of computer because some part of my work is in phone calling .

Yes i'm long time on screen for online some work.

what kind of work having you ?

We've all heard warnings about too much screen time for kids,

It’s because a lot of things are still developing for kids and if exposed to too much screen time then it would lead to a lot of problems especially in the development of their brains. Behavior might be affected

Are there negative effects of screen time for adults that we need to worry about, too?

Obviously the light emitted from devices is unhealthy as it disrupts different hormones in our bodies. Too much screen time will also cause us physical discomfort in our eyes and body. We might forget about exercising or any physical activity due to screen time.

Well, that's a really good question.

I spend almost 10 hrs a day on the screen despite I don't have to work.

Almost most of the time I would be on social media wasting my time rather than using it to productive cases.

seriously you are not working in that 10 hours being in front of computer screed?
are your eyes are still not needed a glass?

Yes i'm long time on screen for online some work.

online work and forum posting = long time in our screens

I now control my gadget using and only spend some 3-4 hours since last week.

Well for me I know I usually Focus on my screen almost everyday but doesn't mean that I don't do other things apart from focusing on my screen and wanting to be at the top of the game. Bad posture anxiety and many other factors may be due to addiction. Addiction is the reason behind people falling  to such problems. In what ever thing we do, we should apply caution by using precautions measures to enhance safety and protect ourselves for a better health, because  good health is wealth.

Apart from much time spending on screen anything that requires precautions or safety should be followed, because prevention is better that cure, it's very unwise to do things without looking for the safety aspects because you may be gaining the process and pay the price another way round the only best option that keeps you in-between is safety mostly when there is no means if total prevention.

Children are wasting more time behind different types of screens due to digital technology which damages the brain if more time is spent on the screen of the devices. Their interest in playing sports or running in the field is gradually decreasing. Not only children but also youngsters have gradually lost interest in physical activity or sports which is the cause of their obesity children's vision gradually begins to decline.

this is why i limit my children in using gadgets , I gave them Ultimatum that if they spent more than
4 hours a day in their gadget then i will take those and wont allow them again , not unless it is
for school purposes that is surely allowed.

[bitterguy28]

This is such an important reminder about the hidden costs of our modern quest for financial freedom. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and grind, especially when we're glued to our screens, striving to excel. The toll it takes on our health can be significant—eye strain, poor posture, and the dreaded digital fatigue.

Taking regular breaks and adjusting our workspaces can make a world of difference. I've found that using blue light filters and staying active really helps me maintain my energy levels throughout the day. Setting boundaries is key, too, not just for work-life balance but for our mental health.

It's a bit like gambling, isn't it? We invest so much time and energy, hoping for a big payoff. But if we don't manage our "bets" wisely, we risk burning out. Speaking of gambling, for those who enjoy a little flutter now and then, it's crucial to find reputable sites that prioritize user well-being. Websites like Aucasinoslist offer a great resource for Australian players looking for trustworthy online casinos.

In the end, it's all about balance. Just as we should approach gambling with caution and responsibility, we should treat our work habits with the same care. Remember to take those breaks, stay hydrated, and practice mindfulness. It's these small steps that ensure we can continue to work hard and play hard without sacrificing our health.

A lot of people are not doing things beacuse of the screens are getting them. If they are working or doing something else everytime if they getted in social media(instagram, tiktok etc.) they are locked in without non-effiecent time. They are not aware of that beacuse comfort gives them a freedom of choices what can do. It is a big problem in this era.

 I usually spend most of my time on the screen . Most of activities are online so my phone or my laptop is always in my hand almost all day long.

[JustNeed]

I sit in front of a computer for 16 hours a day, so I am very conscious of my health.

[BADecker]

Do you spend a lot of time on screen?


Not really. But I know a guy who strained himself running through a screen door.

[Cityhunter34]

This topic is really very important to us because most of us normally spend alot of time on computer which very wrong spending much time on your screen is really bad because although it isn't that time that you're doing it that you we start having the effects may be in your old age, I think we really need to try as much as possible to were galas anytime that we are using our computer or our phone to avoid being regret tomorrow.

I also agree that it's unhealthy. However, I find that even just a 20 min exercise 3 times a week adds in a lot of benefits not just for the body but also for the brain.

[bullkk]

I spend a lot of time at the computer, but I also do cycling for 3-4 hours a day.

That is true about exercising.

But you know what I do even I know that fact? I'm too lazy to do that. Because of busyness, I'm not able to fulfill that suggested timeframe for doing exercise.

I need to balance my life and do better in time management if it's about exercising and as for screen time, I'm starting to see more and more kids that are on their screens allowed by their parents.

[cute nmp]

[discusstor]

I spend 10-12 hours, which makes my eyes very tired. In the future I plan to reduce working hours per day

[Krishna1942]

I am working as a autocad draftsman in a civil consultancy company watching screen continuously during duty time, as you said I have to take some safety measures to reduce strain to eyes but I am neglecting due to laziness.
