Being stuck at home for months with little or no human contact left a lot of us finding solace in our tech, but a new survey shows folks may have had enough of all that screen time.
A new survey finds:
- 53% of Americans have had enough of screens over the last few months.
- Before the lockdowns, the average American was spending about four hours a day in front of screens, with that number jumping to over six hours since the beginning of the quarantine.
- All this screen time isn’t actually good for our bodies.
- Close to 60% of people say they suffer from screen-related aches and pains.
- The average person gets about three of these pains a week.
- 57% say the quarantine caused them more “screenaches” than before.
- Two in three say too much screen time leaves them physically tired.
- 60% say all these aches results in them being less productive.
But the good news is folks are realizing all this screen time isn’t good and they’re doing something about it.
- 56% of folks say they are actively trying to cut down on screen time.
- The average American says they take four screen breaks every day.
- 75% say that when they take a break they like to go outside and take in nature.
