What Happens When Adults Cut Off Mobile Internet for Two Weeks? The Results from the Study are Remarkable.
A study reveals alarming trends in screen time among Norwegian adults, emphasizing a potential public health issue related to increased screen usage.
In Norway, there is a growing awareness of the extensive time adults spend in front of screens, which has prompted researchers to conduct the Normo study. This research indicates that on average, Norwegian adults devote around 3.7 hours of their leisure time daily to screen use, with young adults aged 18 to 24 spending even more at 4.9 hours. When considering work-related screen time, total daily usage can amount to 6 to 8 hours, which translates to an astonishing 15 to 20 years of an average lifespan dedicated to screen time. The implications of this are raising concerns about the consequences of such prolonged usage on physical and mental health.
