I personally feel like i'm not on my phone as much; i'm a graphic designer so I tend to be on a screen for work! but normally i'm not on my phone as much due to the fact that i got into writing a lot recently because it helps me express myself a lot! I say 3-4 hours and for my screen time when it comes to my graphic design stuff it varies! I personally agree on most of the things that are said on the article! The article basically states the reasons why we're so addicted and what it does to us. I feel like the phone addiction getting to young ids is a really bad thing due to the fact that that's all they wanna do nowdays. Parents being addicted to their phones is also a risk due to the fact that it can influence their children into the phone addiction its a huge problem for the future.

The child would learn from the parents and get addicted

This topic has many pros and cons. We rely on our phones to communicate with people remotely and stay updated on global events but, they are also addictive and can cause mental health problems with social media.

what do you do to not be on your phone as much?

Agreed!

I agree with this!

Children with parents who are addicted to their phones are affected. It affects them by leading them to believe that it is normal. With the parents being on their phones the child could believe that it could be normal behavior and follow.

I'm on phone 3hrs a day. I most play basketball or football with my friend.

addtication

I spend at least 2 hours per day on any electronics and i think that everyone should not be on any electronics and should be doing other things such as playing sports and at least should be on electronics for 30 minutes at max.

I am on my phone for like 4hrs a day. I most play sports or stay after school

I'm on my phone for like hours but I mostly use it to listen to music, but if I'm not then I help around the house or something to distract me so I'm not on my phone much.

am on any electronics aleast 1 hour 30minutes and the rest of the time I am doing chores or going to church I think that we should not spend a lot on phones instead should do somthing acaademic.

I like that

I think that it is what good to distract you instead of on your phone

anyone should do sports and it is a good time to be on your phone and I would do the same thing as you

In my opinion, parents who are addicted to their cell phones can significantly damage their children's development. When parents are constantly on their phones, they are neglecting their children and depriving them of much-needed attention and interaction, which can have a detrimental impact on their emotional and social growth. Children require regular and quality time with their parents to learn essential communication and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, parents' constant phone usage can make their children feel unimportant and neglected, leading to long-lasting negative effects on their self-esteem and mental health. Hence, it is crucial for parents to prioritize their children's needs and development over their own screen time and to be more mindful of their phone usage around their children.

I totally agree due to the fact that nowadays AI can pretty much do anything that has to do with systems. AI being really advanced now is scary due to the fact that it's barley been worked on and it already has affected so much on the world.

im on my phone for a average 5 hours and 30 min a week and i dont really use my phone for social media just for watching and sports

Unless you want your eyes to be bad take a break on your phone every now and then

On average I clock 8 to 9 hours a day. Most of that time is spent listening to SoundCloud or watching YouTube. I tend to scroll when I get bored and just scroll through my socials to cut by time.

I definatly use my phone entirely too much. It is a horrible habit. I also am so used to it that I feel lost without it. On the weekends my phone is used over 12 hours a day!!! WOW!! My favorite things to do are scroll on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.
