That\u2019s about 47 hours a week and 101 days a year. By this estimation, beginning at age 18, a person who lives to be 80 will have spent more than 17 years of their adult life using the internet.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worse in the U.S., with Americans spending an average seven hours, three minutes online a day\u2014exceeding 18 years of their adult lives. People in Japan spend the least time online daily, three hours, 56 minutes, while those in South Africa spend the most, nine hours, 24 minutes. Between the ages of 18 and 80, that amounts to 10 and 24 years online, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that people around the world spend the equivalent of their entire childhoods connected to the internet may be a disturbing thought.

About 25% of the general population worldwide could be affected by at least one type of digital addiction, such as internet or gaming addiction, according to a 2022 study published in the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0272735822000137\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0272735822000137\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Clinical Psychology Review<\/em><\/a>. Even so, you don\u2019t have to have a digital addiction to use the internet as much as DataReportal suggests.<\/p>\n<p>Think about how many times on a typical weekday you look at screens and how long you\u2019re glued to them. If you work a desk job, even from home, you\u2019re likely in front of a computer screen for at least eight hours a day. Not to mention all the times you check your phone or smartwatch. In the evenings, perhaps you work out via an app on your smart TV, stream a show on your tablet, play on your gaming console, video chat with a loved one, or dive into a new book on your e-reader. It may be simpler to add up the hours you <em>aren\u2019t<\/em> tied to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>To help curb your screen time, Turvy recommends an \u201cintegration over separation\u201d approach such as listening to a podcast or audiobook during a walk, which combines digital engagement and physical activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognize that the dichotomy between screen time and non-screen time is becoming increasingly blurred,\u201d Turvy says. \u201cIntegrating meaningful screen-free activities into daily routines rather than strictly separating the two can be helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin:auto;max-width:960px\"><figcaption>Social media addiction is a well-documented behavioral disorder, but it\u2019s just one form of digital addiction.<\/figcaption><p>Natalia Lebedinskaia\u2014Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How you\u2019re exposed to screens matters<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/comm.arizona.edu\/person\/matthew-lapierre\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/comm.arizona.edu\/person\/matthew-lapierre\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew Lapierre, Ph.D.<\/a>, an associate professor of communication at the <a href=\"https:\/\/sbs.arizona.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/sbs.arizona.edu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Arizona College of Social and Behavioral Sciences<\/a>, wasn\u2019t surprised by DataReportal\u2019s estimates of how much time people spend online. But those numbers also should be taken with a grain of salt owing to the complexities of collecting such data on a global scale, he says.<\/p>\n<p>When considering your daily screen time totals, Lapierre recommends evaluating your level of engagement. Streaming hours of TV in the background while you\u2019re doing chores, for example, may not be as detrimental as consistently spending 40 hours a week sitting in front of your computer. How you utilize screen time is more important than how much you\u2019re exposed to it, he stresses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy own smartphone research shows that if I\u2019m using my smartphone to connect interpersonally, I\u2019m doing better as a human being,\u201d Lapierre, who studies media and health, tells <em>Fortune<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019m feeling more connected, I\u2019m feeling a greater sense of belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turvy, too, emphasizes quality screen time over quantity: \u201cPromote engagement with digital content that is enriching and purposeful, which can lead to more fulfilling and less wasteful screen time usage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s good reason to be mindful of your tech habits, but not to panic about their cumulative duration unless they begin to negatively interfere with your life, Lapierre says. In addition to digital addiction, excessive screen time may lead to other health problems ranging from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9434525\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9434525\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital eye strain<\/a> to depression to impaired sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsent that, the idea that you\u2019re spending more time with screens, I think, is just a reality moving forward,\u201d Lapierre says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin:auto;max-width:960px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Low angle view of a woman sitting on a sofa looking at her laptop.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"641\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;height:auto;object-fit:cover;width:100%;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/content.fortune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-546999601-e1709220553764.jpg?w=1440&amp;q=75\" \/><figcaption>Digital reference library DataReportal in January released its annual Global Overview Report, revealing internet users ages 16 to 64 spend an average six hours, 40 minutes daily surfing the web on any device.<\/figcaption><p>Mint Images\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider a \u2018notification vacation\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Global internet usage is unlikely to decline anytime soon.

That way, you can stay connected without devices monopolizing as much of your time. He also recommends screen breaks on weekends or for a few hours on weekdays when possible, and appreciating the ways in which screen time improves your quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFocus on using technology to support your values rather than detract from them,\u201d Turvy says. \u201cThis approach encourages intentional use of screens, ensuring that digital engagement enhances rather than eclipses real-life experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more on screen time and your health:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-cy=\"subscriptionPlea\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Subscribe to Well Adjusted, our newsletter full of simple strategies to work smarter and live better, from the Fortune Well team. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Sign up<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> for free today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re reading this on a screen, but you may want to take a break after finishing the article to avoid spending years of your life eyeballing pixels.
