Technology addiction can happen to anyone. It is the new 21st Century addiction.
Imagine feeling a constant urge to check your phone, even when you know there's nothing new. That's the reality for many in today's digital age. In this episode of 'The Next Right STEPS', host Steve C. Ward teams up with digital detox expert Holland Haiis to tackle the growing issue of digital addiction. Haiis points out that technology addiction isn't just a buzzword; it's a serious concern affecting people of all ages.
From kids glued to tablets to adults who can't put their phones down, the impact is widespread and troubling. The conversation dives into the signs of digital addiction, such as compulsive device usage, mood swings, and a noticeable drop in engaging in real-world activities. Haiis emphasizes that this isn't just about spending too much time online; it's about how our lives are being reshaped by our screens.
For parents, this episode offers practical advice on setting boundaries and encouraging healthier habits. Think outdoor playtime, family game nights, and tech-free zones at home. Experts like Dr. Nicholas Kardaras also weigh in, highlighting how schools might inadvertently be contributing to the problem by integrating screens into daily learning. The episode doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; it provides actionable steps to help you or your loved ones break free from the grip of digital addiction.
Whether it's setting daily screen time limits or modeling positive behavior, there are ways to reclaim balance in our tech-saturated lives. Tune in to understand how digital addiction is shaping our world and learn practical tips to foster a healthier relationship with technology. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the digital demands of modern life.
