Discussion:

When it comes to technology and media, it is highly likely that I spend around 8 hours in front of a screen. It could be a TV, computer, my phone, a camera, or even the one in the car. there are so many screens around us that we see everyday, and they are very hard to avoid. As a student, a lot of my work is done through a screen so that adds to the hours that I am required to be behind a screen. However, in my free time, I like to relax, that could be by watching TV or occasionally playing on my Xbox. In doing that, it adds to my screen time, which doesn't help, but I believe that as time goes on and things get more advanced, we are going to rely on technology more and more. I recently attended something and one of the people in charge were like "phones are a problem, they are like a sickness". I don't disagree.
