Spending too much time on screens can make it harder to concentrate, remember important information, get enough sleep, and manage emotions. Research shows that frequent use of smartphones and social media leads to serious problems known as digital dementia and brain rot. These habits can change brain function, cause unhealthy behaviors, and mental disorders. The negative effects can be reduced by setting limits on device use and encouraging controlled usage. Simple steps such as putting phones away during meals, reading printed books, and spending more time outdoors have been shown to have positive impacts on health. Taking regular breaks from digital content also helps the mind stay clear. The complex problem of the digital era can only be solved with collective action. All interested parties should cooperate on the policies and guidelines for using digital tools to protect mental health in the long run.</p> 2025-06-02T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Future Digital Technologies and Artificial Intelligence
