Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Digital technology is being used by kids and teenagers more and more as the world becomes more digital. Computers, smartphones, video games, and digital media are just a few examples of the many types of digital technology that can hold someone's interest for lengthy periods. People of all ages are harmed by the rise of digital technology, but children and teenagers are particularly vulnerable. Teenagers use digital tools to engage with one another and spend more time online. They use it for various purposes, including social connection, education, and entertainment, and they go there for just about anything. Overuse of technology can lead to several health problems, such as obesity, poor sleep, musculoskeletal disorders, developmental challenges, and a lack of physical activity. This article reviews the most recent research on the harmful effects of digital technology on children's health; papers released before 2015 are excluded. Research has indicated that children's improper use of technology, including its content, duration, frequency, and posture, can pose health hazards.
