Background to the Problem

Our modern technological world has had a significant impact on everyone: with growth and invention comes challenges. Hear are some tech statistics that explain a lot!

Teens spend about 5.0 hours per day on social media (approximately 35 hours per week)
Adults spend about 2.3 hours per day on social media.
Gen Z (ages 11-26) spends 7.3 hours per day on screens.
Millennials and Gen X (ages 27-58) spend 6.4 hours per day on screens.
Baby Boomers (ages 59-78) spend 2.9 hours per day on screens.

What does this mean for our minds and emotional state?

It means our brains and neurochemistry are being – re-wired and we are becoming less and less in control.

The addictive properties of social media pull you in and don’t let go. Your mind and emotions get on the “stimulation machine train” and when you are periodically away from your screens:

You lack good skills to manage your own mind, thoughts, and experience.
You often feel bored.
You struggle to focus on anything that isn’t “interesting,”
You have low frustration and stress tolerance.
And you tend to avoid anything that feels uncomfortable.

The Cause:

The combination of our modern demanding lives along with the addictive qualities of technology impacts every corner of our experiences.

The Effects:

Personal unnecessary suffering.
