WHY BE UNTETHERED
We check our phones 344 times a day!
The reasons are vast and many to Be Untethered. It's no secret that we are completely addicted to technology, especially our phones. The psychological effects of excessive screen time is continually being studied, but rest assured, there's a lot of bad. Reviews.org covered some findings in our obsession with Smart Phones. Here's a tidbit that should scare you:
Americans spend 4 hours, 65 minutes on their phone every day.
That will account for nearly a month and a half, 65 days on their phone in 2023`.
When it comes to experiences, we actually retain less if we take a picture of the experience rather than letting our mind remember it. This is also highlighted in this article: The case against prolific Instagram use is all about protecting your memories.
Even when you take away the completely vain, narcissistic, dopamine addicting aspects of social media, you still have the negative bullying and depression epidemic that has affected so many youths and adults in recent years from Social Media.
According to the Mayo Clinic, there are many wellness benefits of cutting down screen time, including but not limited to: physical health, sleep, mood, and real social connections.
So, why Be Untethered here and there?
