Stress and Technology Dependency
The Digital Influence
Stress can affect technology use and screen time by increasing dependence, promoting escapism, and altering digital behaviors. In the U.S., individuals may rely on technology as a coping mechanism during stressful periods.
To promote balanced tech use, practice stress management techniques such as digital detox, setting screen time limits, and engaging in offline activities. Addressing stress supports mindful technology consumption and enhances digital well-being.
