The time has come to look at your phone’s battery usage.
You probably have heard your parents tell you this “get off your phone you are addicted to that thing!”. They might just be right. To add on, the percentage of phone and social media usage has exponentially increased throughout people.
This might just seem like an annoying claim to many people since the use of social media has absolutely skyrocketed, it also has had a negative effect on people’s mental health. To add on, many people simply lose the fight of checking and going through their phone every single time they receive a notification. Furthermore, this social media dependency, allows for many people to be categorized as addicted, simply based on the number of hours they spend within a week.
The use of social media and its negative effects have caused many to be extremely worried about their child’s mental health. For instance, in England, the concern grew so much that the British government was in the process of drafting official limits on social media usage. To prove my statement, “Britain’s chief medical officer has been instructed by health secretary Matt Hancock to draw up official guidelines on time limits for social media use.”. Adding on, these wouldn’t be just some guidelines that everyone tosses to the side but instead they “would work in a similar way to safe alcohol limits”. It is safe to say that England takes this matter deeply seriously.
