Today, technology is a big part of our lives. With smartphones and tablets, we can get information fast and talk to people who are far away. But as technology got better, it also made a new problem: technology addiction. Looking at phones or computers too much and not being able to stop is called digital addiction. Digital addiction can make people feel bad in the long term. So, there are some things we can do to stop this addiction.
First, some people should use digital devices less. If someone can stop using their phone when they want, they are not addicted yet, but they should still take breaks. But if someone cannot stop themselves and always uses their phone or tablet, they should get help from other people or apps. These apps can block the phone and stop the person from using it. People should also stop using phones or computers at some times in the day. They can go outside and do sports or walk instead. For example, instead of looking at Instagram at home, going for a walk in the park can be more healthy. A person can also try digital detox. This means staying away from phones, tablets, computers and social media for some time. If people do this, they can sleep better, focus more, and feel more happy. Many people did digital detox and says it helped them.
Schools have a big job too. They should teach children what digital addiction is when they are young. Because now there is technology everywhere, and it is very important that children don’t become addicted. So, schools are very important in this topic. Also, TV, radio, and social media can show programs to tell people about this problem. Hospitals must also think about digital addiction as a real health problem and make treatments for it.
In conclusion, digital addiction is a big problem today. To fight with this problem, both people and the society must work together. If people use technology in a smart way and learn more about digital addiction, this problem can get smaller. If not, people will feel lonely and have more mental problems. So, having a good balance with technology is not just a choice, it’s something we must do.
