◦ Overexposure to fast-paced digital media can contribute to restlessness and hyperactive behavior.

◦ Prolonged use of digital devices can cause cognitive overload, impairing concentration, memory, and decision-making abilities.

◦ Reliance on digital devices for storing information can weaken memory retention, as individuals may become less inclined to remember details, relying instead on devices.

◦ Posture Problems due to bad posture and sitting hunched over device for long causing back and neck pain.

◦ Exposure to the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and insomnia.

◦ It can lead to sedentary life style that leads to weight gain and weaker muscles due to excess sitting and less or no physical activity.

◦ Excess screen time effects routines and affects wake-up time, sleep time, food time, personal hygiene etc., creating unhealthy/imbalanced life style practices.

◦ Excessive digital consumption can stifle creativity by limiting opportunities for reflective thinking and reducing time spent on non-digital activities that stimulate creative processes.

◦ While digital devices enable connectivity, they can also lead to social isolation when virtual interactions replace face-to-face communication.

◦ They can also impact interpersonal skills, reducing the quality of face-to-face interactions and potentially affecting relationships.

◦ The pressure to be constantly connected and responsive, especially in work contexts, can lead to digital burnout, characterized by mental fatigue, decreased productivity or performance, and emotional exhaustion.

It is hence essential that the adequate care is taken to make informed and good digitial device choices for overall wellbeing in the current digital world.
