When I heard or read the word "screen time", the first thing that comes to my mind is the amount of time that we used electronic every day. The creator of the mobile phone has implementing screen time, which is used to remind us as the user to manage our time using a mobile phone. The way screen time work is by monitoring our daily activities on our mobile phone and report your activities to see if you played a lot of games, spend time on social media, or using your gadget for working purposes. Screen time can provide a risk to the user, especially health and social issues. Too much screen time would damage their eyesight. When we read or scroll through social media we tend to blink much lesser which leads to dry eyes. Other symptoms caused by too much screen time are giving eyestrain, headaches, and even stress. Furthermore, screen time also causes a sleep problem that is caused by the light emitted from the screens that disrupting our sleep cycle in the brain, which leads to insomnia. The risk of screen time can damage the relationship with their close one, whether it is their family or friends. Even with this concern, I do also experience insomnia due to the fact that I have been using my phone and laptop for working and entertainment purposes, there are times when I slept only 2 hours. As a person who likes to stay up all night, I would try to set a limit but I would not guarantee success. As a night person, I would prefer to work during night time where it is more productive for me. My limit of screen time is when I finish all of my work or when I'm experience fatigue, that is the time when I went to sleep. I think children nowadays have experience more screen time, rather than when I was a child. Technology has been more advanced than before I was a child where they provide a variety of entertainment that allows children to stay entertained for a long period of time. When I was a child, my parents only bought me toys to stay entertained. To some extent, I agree with banning screen time especially for children due to children need to get more exposure to outside activities rather than staying in their bedroom watching movies or playing games, It is healthier to go outside and socialize with other people. However, children also need to expose to gadgets, where I believe that we live in the era of technology which they will develop further. By allowing children to use their gadget is allowing themself to adapt toward technology and using it in an effective way.
Do you think that giant tech companies, such as Apple and Samsung, should be held responsible for some of the effects that they have had on us or do you think that individuals should solely be responsible?
BalasHapusWhat do you think screen time will be like in the future?
Do you think that technology should be banned in children's bedrooms?
I don't think tech companies should held the responsible over the effect that they had toward the users, due to the fact that every individual have their responsibility in controlling their activities in social media. In the future, screen time will be more likely to happen where technology will develop even further. Yes, I do believe that technology should be banned in children bedroom, as I considered technology as hazard, which effect children in a negative way. Rather than doing more activities to become more healthier, they choose to stay in their bedroom and watch movies
