According to a survey conducted by Reviews.org, people living in the United States check their phones a whopping 144 times per day and spend an average of 4 hours and 25 minutes on them every day. Meanwhile, 89% of Americans check them within the first 10 minutes of waking up. The vast majority of respondents (75%) feel uneasy leaving their phones at home, while the same number check their phones within 5 minutes of getting a notification.

Being constantly connected to the internet, social media, and our emails isn’t as great as some utopians might have thought. The fear of missing out (FOMO) is constantly haunting our steps. Meanwhile, some folks are anxious that they’re somehow obligated to instantly respond to any new notifications. It can be exhausting. And it can make you feel like you’d rather live in a cottage in the woods, raising chickens, with no internet at all. However, for most of us, that’s not an option. What we can do, instead, is cut back on our screen and internet time.

Alternatively, mute your group chats when you want some time to focus on your loved ones and your hobbies so you don’t feel pressured to respond and react to every single witty meme or comment. And there’s honestly nothing better than doing a small digital detox on your days off. Going for a walk without your phone can be liberating (especially if you think you can’t live without tracking your steps).

However, when talking about technology, she told Bored Panda that social interaction issues, cyberbullying, and privacy violations are at the top of her list.
“I think stricter laws and abiding citizens will surely help. And I hope people don’t spend too much time on social media. Spend your time with your loved ones. Remember that life is short. So, make it memorable,” u/Constant_Luck9387 told Bored Panda.

“People with compassion and empathy. The world needs more people like that. Everyone can make this world better by starting with yourself,” she said.

“I actually didn’t expect that it would get so much attention. For me, some people view the world as cruel. I am actually one of them. When I was a kid, I thought it was actually rainbows and butterflies, but it wasn’t. So, I feel like that question resonated with many people.”
Redditor u/Constant_Luck9387 also had this uplifting message to share with her readers: “Hello, everyone. I hope you are being kind to yourself, as well as to others. The world we live in is already cruel. Make your mind a beautiful place.”
