Frequently asked Questions
The 24/7 connection trap refers to the constant availability and reliance on digital devices, which has blurred the lines between work, leisure, and rest. This always-on culture can negatively affect mental and physical health.
Prolonged screen use is linked to sedentary behavior, which increases the risk of cardiovascular problems, and poor diet. The blue light emitted by screens also leads to sleep disturbances.
Excessive use of digital platforms has been associated with anxiety, depression, technostress, and feelings of inadequacy due to social media comparisons. It can also lead to reduced emotional resilience and social isolation.
Digital detox can help mitigate some effects, such as technostress, by promoting mindful device usage and rest. However, it may not fully address structural issues like everyday obligations or societal reliance on technology.
