Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much?

[@AboveTheNoise]

How do you feel about the amount of time you spend looking at a screen? Is all this screen time really as bad as the media might have you believe?

[@Sivah_Akash]

@FurryFox-Hybrid, you don't need a relationship? We Humans are social animals, so we do need friends.

[@Sivah_Akash]

I used to play a lot of games on my phone. But I slowly decreased it. Even though now the time I spend on screens hasn't change, I spend it more qualitatively by mostly watching educational YT videos. But I watch on a small screen, that's a bummer!

[@ephemeralvapor8064]

@FurryFox-Hybrid People make everything that leads to your use of the phone, so there's an implicit relationship there with all those people that make screens and the things you do on them possible...

[@jnnorelien9267]

i think it depends on what you are using your phone (or digital device for), you can use them for positive things.

[@bestcellphonespyapps9098]

Honestly, I spend way too much time looking a screen on a daily basis. It's partially because my job primarily involves computer work.

I spend about 3/4 my day looking at screens. The other 1/4 is me sleeping.

I understand the the fine line. It definitely depends on the quality of the screen time. Things I watch is mostly creative and informative.

[@aoeu256]

You can have screen time and exercise like if you put a minielliptical under your desk while you watch youtube at 300%, and you can open the window to get infrared radiation on your skin O_o.

[@danieltakawi9919]

I actually am glad that they took a more nuanced approach, showing the both good and bad of screens and social media. A lot of older people don't see that side of it and it really makes teenagers and youth feel like the older generation does not understand them.

Thanks so much for watching and leaving this positive feedback! We appreciate it!

[@madtanukie7116]

I agree! I'm 23 and been considered a teenager even though I'm not. Also I like to think that screen time can be both harmless and harmful depending on the person eyesight. I wear glasses and boy, the amount of headaches I get from them is unsettling! I need a new pair!

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

They don't understand why you always have your face in a screen. We grew up when NOBODY had a cell phone. Very few very rich people had one from 1980 or so. Car phones in the 50s, but like a Rolls Royce. Air time was 1.00 a MINUTE in the 90s. When you probably made 5.75 an hour. Texts were charged, too.

[@francoisrd]

Like every other activity in life, if you use the Internet/technology mindfully you'll get more out of it. The problem is that, for modern digital platform companies, your attention is their revenue stream, so they have designed their software to keep you on it as long as possible and to keep you coming back often if you do leave. That's where the mindfulness comes in. Ask yourself: is refreshing my insta/twitter/etc every 5 seconds really making me happy or not? If so, then by all means keep doing it. But if it's just a habit that doesn't really give you fulfillment, do something else with your time (doesn't matter if it uses a screen or not), and check your social media only once in a while when you actually feel like connecting with people.

[@AboveTheNoise]

Online learning and conversations is how I got through my childhood in the 80's. That is way easier to do now, but it's also way easier to fall in traps. Oh the simpler days. I do still love learning online every day. It's by far my favorite thing to do online. My second favorite thing is anything that that lets me directly interact with others - that is things like small group video games or debating on topics I'm passionate about.

[@RupaniJuvell]

I spent 10 years almost completely bedridden. I could get myself to the bathroom (thankfully) but that was it. I frequently had people trying to pity me but I wouldn't have it. Are you kidding me? If this had happened just a teensy bit earlier, then fine, it'd have been rough, but I had it good! I made friends around the world, picked up meaningful volunteer work that I was passionate about, found a cousin in a mmorpg, and learned French! When I got well enough to get into my wheelchair once a week, my counselor told me to keep it up. I had been feeling guilty for all the screen time and thought I should be doing things "in real life". She reminded me that what I was doing WAS real. FYI, I've been walking for just about a year now. I still spend a lot of time resting, and I spend it watching educational shows like this while I make art that I sell to try to pay the bills that naturally accumulated during my time in bed. I still feel the same way about screen time. It can be a real life saver, and I'm so very grateful to have access to it. Off topic - did you know that Philo T. Farnsworth (inventor of the TV) didn't let his kids watch it? He had envisioned it as being used as a tool for mass education. Obviously computers, and thus the internet wouldn't be here without the TV, so I like to think he'd be happy with the evolution. Anyway, he was my dad's uncle.

I been concerned cuz I spent my youth playing video games. Like many hours ... I had fun at the time but I led a sedentary life. Now I feel regret sometimes about it and like maybe my eyesight is not as good as it used to be. I'm in my late 20s now. The concern I have is now I'm FORCED TO look at screen for work for min 40 hrs a week. And so now I minimize my time on phone or just listen to audio. Idk I want to keep strong eyesight

[@AboveTheNoise]

Eyesight is just one of the things that is impacted by too much time in front of a screen. It's all about setting limits, and making sure you get plenty of time away from it, too.

[@flymypg]

I had to partition my screen use. I sanitized my phone by removing all games and social media apps, and my use of it became much more functional: Mainly communication and navigation, where the device itself provides the means, rather than all the other things I can do anywhere and everywhere else. Then I got an eReader, so reading ebooks didn't get interrupted by notifications and other distractions and temptations. That's my only in-bed device. I moved my main PC into the living room and connected it to my TV, so my media consumption is centralized, no matter what it is. Including KZbin channels. It's also where I do most of my creative work, such as blogging, other writing, and displaying tab sheets while I play. Plus, it's connected to a curved 65" TV, giving me a great visual experience (though my *only* streaming service is Amazon Prime). I have other PCs and tablets, but they're generally single-purpose. My laptop spends most of its time connected to my 3D printer, though I sometimes grab it to do CAD designs at my local coffee shop, then return home to print them. I have no TV or PC or even a radio in the bedroom. My phone goes on the nightstand (it's my alarm), and the eReader winds up wherever it falls when I drift off to sleep. Taken all together, simply moving from device to device helps ensure I don't get locked into an infinite Google search or Wikipedia dive. My screen use is much more focused, and less wasteful. Unless you include posting comments on KZbin videos.

[@Ratigan2]

your life sounds good mate!

[@StoneCresent]

I spend too much time on KZbin as it is. I recently started to be more selective in the content I watch so I can make time for other activities like video games, reading, watching anime, or building with Legos. I also use a computer at work for 90% of my tasks. I've found that good posture is critical to avoid developing physical health issues from heavy computer use.

[@AboveTheNoise]

Thanks for sharing! Yeah, good posture and regular exercise/stretching make a huge difference.

I actually spent so much time on screens when I was younger that it actually damaged my eyes and now I need glasses for whenever I'm reading or looking at a screen, because if I don't then I will get things like headaches and itchy eyes.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I'm not ophthalmologist, but near/far sighteness is caused by the shape of your eyeball. I fail to see how screen time can change that. Even tho they'd say to kid's, you'll ruin your eyes, get back from the TV in the 50s. Still heard it in the 80s.

[@LynHannan]

At least half of my screen time is shared with hand sewing (60%), folding washing and ironing (10%), or pedaling my exercise bike (30%). It's either the telly or KZbin - there's no such thing as good news on the telly and the morning shows just dumb everything down like you're an infant - I haven't turned our TV on for over 4 years (It's no longer plugged in, either), so it's KZbin for me. I get my astronomy fix any time I want, I'm learning about our planet on so many levels my teenage me would be disgusted! I also watch/follow a few families which gives me a sense of belonging I never got as a kid. Make of that what you will, but maybe Aussies do it differently? No, I don't really think so; screen time issues are global, just like the internet.

[@kamilavargas2754]

I think that I am on my phone too much. Even though that occasionally deters me from making time for other activities, I don't think it is necessarily bad for my health.

How much depression is related to the screen time vs the often attendant loss of sleep?

[@AboveTheNoise]

Great question. Sounds like a good hypothesis for a study!

[@Submanca]

Screen time to me can be sort or an addiction. The addiction is to what is happening on the screen though. Video games are a type of challenge and people get addicted to challenges all the time. I have to be very careful not to play Minecraft because I know I will be immediately hooked and lose track of time. I avoid facebook because I can't help checking out all the posts. I find KZbin hard to avoid because I love to learn. Screen time to me is like any other life choice you need to balance life in general. If it's having a negative on your life then you need to change but if it isn't I don't see the problem.

[@AboveTheNoise]

Check out our episode that explores whether or not video game addiction is a bona fide addiction.

[@Submanca]

@@AboveTheNoise Seen it and agree in a way. Everything can be an addiction. From supporting a sports team to hording. It's the individual that chooses to make it an addiction. I have a very active mind so my wife says I am addicted to the TV and my computer, but that's how I occupy my mind at the time. We don't teach people how to deal with life so they turn to drugs, alcohol, gaming or social media etc. In my opinion a hobby could turn into an addiction. Addiction is only bad when it hurts your life. We need to start teaching kids, and people in general, how to use gaming and social media responsibly.

[@AboveTheNoise]

@@Submanca we agree!

[@connecticutaggie]

I completely agree that "screen time" is the wrong thing to measure; but, it is an easy thing to measure. Which do you think will win. Maybe that is the bottom line. How much time do you spend doing "unproductive thing". Great thing to measure; but, really hard to measure. Everybody needs down time and relationships matter; but, is screen time the best way to do that? Maybe some teens are just like a researcher measure screen time because it is easy to measure. Maybe they use their phone because its easy (and anonymous). On the other hand, maybe they are using to research, communicate, and create insightful videos (like this one). The strongest relationships are built by working together to do things that matter.

Personally I avoid social media entirely excluding the occasional Reddit post about a tech-related question and I do quite fine! I personally would only want to cut out reading the news, which has absolutely effected my emotion. Adding to that, I regularly have mood swings and do have things- like depression which most commonly are unaffected by screen usage in my case. Overall it absolutely depends on a person and their usage of screened devices and their connection, relationship, and situations when using them.

[@monkmichael-munkmiikael-hy7842]

First video I see on the topic that gives both sides of the opinions!

[@rooniemag]

I think one problem about the whole debate about whether or not screen time is bad is they're just looking at the correlation between screen time and health. they're not looking at why people are on their screens so much. They're looking at cause (screen time) and effect (health), where maybe they could look at cause (bullying, bad life, the inherently dystopic society all teens are forced to confront daily), effect (more screen time as a means of escape) and other effect (health)

Thanks for categorizing it as active screen time and passive income. I agree that passive is bad, active is good. Passive is idle, active is helpful and wholesome (all generally speaking). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that there are some good uses (which is why God made it so the technology is here) and some bad uses (what Satan inspires people to use it for), and some things that are good or okay when they're not done excessively, but bad when they're excessive. We are taught simply to keep balance in our lives, especially to not allow too much screen time to get in the way of our family relationships.

Spending 10+ hours a day watching youtube, playing roblox, tiktok, etc its a problem many have. Technology Can be a great help or hinder. Its however one chooses to use it.

I don't use phone or any screen after 9 and I sleep on 10. I guess that helped my sleep, I really get some good sleep
