Children With Parents Who Are Addicted To Their Cell Phones Affect Children's Development

What are your thoughts on this?

On average I clock 6 hours a day and I've picked up my phone 166 times over the last 2 days. Most of that time is spent listening to Spotify or watching YouTube. I tend to scroll when I get bored but a lot it feels like I'm falling into a routine.

My life revolves around the technology I own. I use my phone very often when I'm out in public and not spending time with friends, and sometimes I talk to this LGBT+ discord group I'm a part of. Throughout the day, this is just guessing, I scroll on my phone when I'm bored at least 3 hours worth of the day, on Discord for about 1-2 hours a day, and when I'm not on my phone I'll be on my computer or Xbox, at least 4 hours each. If I delete discord or burn my Xbox, I might start to have plenty of time for guitar....

Everyday is about 6-8 hours on my phone and between 60-200 pickups. Even though I do these things, distancing away from my device for at least 30 minutes to an hour is usually what I do. A phone is great for many things, but it shouldn't take away from getting a breath of fresh air.

I usually pick up my phone like every 15 or 20 minutes, so i pick up the phone between 50-300 times a day. I think it's too much. The times I don't use my phone, I usually be playing video games or doing homework. A phone is very useful but at the same time it's not, we can spend too many time on it and we won't do the things we have to do.

Technically this is correct but it doesn't mean we have to stay on our phones all the time

i use my phone about 6-7 hours a day

cool post

I actually don't spend too much time since it broke i play a ton of games but before prolly a lot of the day wasted on both though.

right there are a lot of things that does not require our phones but, i would usually say using the phones are a little thing you can do on the side but clearly its more than just a thing to do one the side.

I'd say about 5 or less hours, nowadays, is how much time I spend on my phone. I have others things to keep me occupied at times like playing soccer with my brothers, working and school.

Sometimes we do end up spending more time on our phones than we intended to. And I like that last sentence you wrote, it really is true.

To be honest I be on phone most of the day except when i go play some soccer or do some exercise.

And sometimes I pick up my phone for no reason but I guess I could agree with him technology id advancing in so many ways. It can help us or affect us. Either way it's there.

I'm on the phone at an estimate 3 hours per day, there are days I might be on it more. During the day I work, which doesn't give me time to be on it. I do tend to pick it up a lot, to check on time, change the song, or google stuff. technology is getting more advanced as the days go by. it has it's pros and its cons.

I use my phone everyday except when i go outside and play soccer.

I open social media about every 30 mins because im not really on it as much as i was before.

technology is advancing and it will be easier to do many things in the future.

This is true

Maybe an hour. I will sometimes play solitaire or look up some stuff for school, but I’m mostly on my computer from about 7:15 am 2:30 pm nonstop and then work on schoolwork, zoom calls with my TI or music instructor on and off til about 8 pm or somewhere close to that. I think that it's good to be outside and I love to and be one with nature (when it's not cold) and it also isn’t very good to be looking at a screen for hours a day. Kinda wish I was back out west where it was warm, neighbors a mile away, and had bad signal. I think life was better back in the day. Well, around flip phone times lol

damienn - between school and work, I'm surprised you have that much time to spend on your phone

I feel like I spend 4-5 hours on my phone I'm more active than sitting down looking at a screen, besides I like looking at and the world in person and not on a screen

That's kind of like me but instead I play basketball or football

I use my cellphone all the time the only time I am not glued to it is when i'm at work or someone is talking to me. I use my phone on average for about 8 hours and 54 mins daily which is not great. I use technology all the time in my daily life.

I use my phone 5-7 hours a day, with around 60 unlocks a day. A lot of my life revolves around technology, whether I'm learning something, or playing online with my friends. I tend to use my home computer more than my phone when I'm not doing school work.

I spend roughly 8 hours a day on my phone on average, much more than that on my playstation. i scroll through social media whenever im bored give or take 3 hours out of the day.

I be on my phone a lot on snapchat and on tic tok I think I be on my phone for 8 hours

I use my phone an average of 7 hours a day talking on the phone or watching youtube.

Im always on my phone like almost the whole time i get home from school because my phone is an escape for me..

I use my phone for 3 hours a day and I don't use social media its very rare for me to play games and i only watch games.

Yes

in total I use my phone for 5hrs and 45mins but most of that time is repsonding to messages or just scrolling on tiktok while waiting and Netflix

i like that

I'm on my phone for about 7 hours sometimes on social media, iTunes, and youtube. When I am bored I sometimes scroll through my phone.
