Strategies to treat “Technology Addiction”
Fighting tech addiction needs an institutional push now
Advised by National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru.
· Bengaluru’s schools have a digital detox day on which the Wi-Fi is switched off, as are mobile phones, tablets, computers and other gadgets, both in the school and home, by pushing for parents to spend more time with their children at home.
· Restaurants are now offering discounts to patrons for “logging out”—by depositing their gadgets with the restaurant for the duration of the meal. This is indeed a healthy way to impose a curb on screen-time.
But, an institutional push towards educating the masses about the dangers of digital addiction is what is badly needed—given tech addiction has become widespread.
