description

While in the past it was mainly watching TV and sitting in front of a computer screen, the use of smartphones has been increasing since the 2010s . The average screen time for adults in the US in 2016 was 9.5 hours a day.

With the increased use of the Internet (as of 2000: 90 minutes a day), second screening has also increased. For example, 27 percent of Americans often use their smartphone at the same time while watching TV.

Studies indicate negative effects of a long screen time, especially in children and adolescents. Accordingly, the legislature in Internet-savvy South Korea made sure that parents are "automatically notified after a certain time when their children use the screen".
