Vision Direct, an online shop specializing in contact lenses and eye care products, commissioned a UK marketing research firm, OnePoll, to conduct a survey on the lifestyle of British people. The survey involved 2,000 British people aged 18-81 and replied what electronic devices they used and how much they used.
As a result, it turned out that the surveyed people use smartphones for 2 hours and 25 minutes a day on average. Similarly, PC was 4 hours 1 minute, TV was 3 hours 30 minutes, e-reader was 42 minutes, tablet was 1 hour 39 minutes, game was 1 hour 3 minutes.
The total usage time of each electronic device is 13 hours and 20 minutes, but if you use electronic devices for 13 hours and 20 minutes a day, the time you are looking at the screen is 4866 hours in one year, the survey target person When converted to the average life expectancy of 62 years, the total life will be 301,733 hours. This is a calculation of spending about 34 years looking at the screen of an electronic device for a lifetime.
In addition, 64% of the survey respondents said, 'While there is no smartphone or PC during the lockdown against the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), I do not know what to do.'
'In the era of global COVID-19 infections, we were fortunate to have devices that could connect people to the world,' said Benjamin Dumain, head of business development at Vision Direct. Had a pandemic like this happened 30 or 40 years ago, things would have been quite different. '
But it's not all good. The survey respondents answered that they were 'less than half' the time they were really productive when they were looking at the screen of the electronic device. In addition, 17% of the surveyed respondents said, 'I'm worried if I don't look at my smartphone for a long time.' The answer is that it has developed into the discussion.
The impact of prolonged use of electronic devices on homes is particularly complex in households with children. 40% of the surveyed children who have children feel that 'the time the child is stuck to a game console or smartphone is too long', but two-thirds of parents who licked the child said, 'We are long I was looking at the time screen, so what I said to the child was hypocritical. '
In addition, staring at the screen of an electronic device for a long time also causes health problems. “It's important to be aware of what effects your eyes can have on your screen for too long, and be careful not to overdo it,” Dumain said. However, despite the fact that more than half of the survey admitted that it took time to display on the screen, 4 out of 10 survey respondents answered that they 'almost never rest their eyes.' doing.
Therefore, Vision Direct recommends to rest your eyes with the '20-20-20 rule' that 'every 20 minutes, look away from the screen for 20 seconds and look at a place that is at least 20 feet (about 6 meters)'. doing.
“There are pros and cons to using electronic devices, but with the timing to avoid them, there is no long-term damage. Electronic devices are now a part of our lives. It plays a role that cannot be done, but
