PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2025 / In today's digital age, hours can vanish as we scroll through social media. But what if you could resist the endless pull of algorithms and reclaim your time? That's exactly what the new Trapped by the Screen project is here to help you do. With this innovative tool, you can uncover the hidden costs of your screen time and make every hour of your day productive, meaningful, and goal-driven.
The Reality of Digital Dependency
How did your day begin? How did it end? If you're like most people, your smartphone was in your hand. We scroll during breakfast, at the bus stop, on the subway, and even during coffee breaks sometimes without even realizing it.
Research confirms this trend. According to Oberlo, an average person spends a staggering 6 hours and 36 minutes online every day. In South Africa, this rises to 9 hours and 21 minutes, while Japan sees an average of 4 hours and 4 minutes. The numbers are startling, but the good news is, they're not irreversible.
