Hi,

What do you think about internet and smart phones concerning mental health.

Why 50 years ago, human's mental health were better than now.

In my view, internet is a bad thing.

What about you, what do you think about internet and smart phones.

Mental health hasn't been good any time in history.
Most people use their phones to browse the internet, which is not my case.
I browse on my desktop or ipad and use my iphone as a phone (maybe open an email once in a while).
So, I would say it's a matter of different mental health problems this days about compulsive internet browsing but not worst than people willing to make war in the XX century.
 
Everything must be used moderately. If you abuse it, there might be some bad side effects.

People that tend to be highly hit by those modern devices are those you use them intensely. If you still disconnect regularly and sleep well, there is nothing to really worry about. I've been working in front of the computer for 10 years now and I don't think that it is really affecting my mental health nor my overall health.

Although, I don't know the impact yet on little kids. That's why I limit as much as I can the screen time of my toddler even if I only show him kids shows and educational programs.

This.

I've spent a lot of hours staring at the screen without any noticeable issues.
However, I'm not sure how is it affecting developing brains of infants.

Videos and games kids watch/play are designed in a way to be very stimulative, causing dopamine exhaustion, so it might be concerning, but I don't know, I'm not an expert.
 
You just do not need to surf the Internet 24 hours a day, burning your life this way. There are many more interesting things in the world. You need to be able to plan your day in such a way as to know the depth of this world, but of course, do not forget to make money on the Internet. The main thing is to find a positive balance in everything and everything then will be fine in life.
 
I think Internet on its own cannot be good or bad. İt's a tool and it all depends on how an individual decides to use it. İt's not worse than let's say fire.

This!
 
Too much of anything is a bad thing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be endlessly scrolling on FB for the next meme :suspicious:
 
Yes absolutely! Internet make our life convenient and at the same time made also hell. Our delay like relay on internet and smartphone took main part of it. You did not get any one who do not expend time with smartphone by using social media.
 
It's probably more related to poor diet and lack of sunlight these days than internet and phones.
 
Time using internet = 23 years
Time using smart phone = 12 years
Mental health change in that period = one minute

Internet is like all things can good or bad for example in the bad side if someone become extreme bad on say online games so loses like £100,000 then be bad or unpleasant.

Metal health was never good it's just more talked about than it used to be for example around 60 years ago if someone acted differently to the others in the town they would get told they are crazy then locked up more less or even put to death in some cases.

For me internet allows many good things for example

Make money
learn new things
Watch TV shows or movies
Listen to music
Setup businesses
Learn any skills more less
 

a school project which should concern majority of users here
 
Proper use of any tool has not been a problem so far.
However, the use of smartphones, etc. in the present age is an integral part. But we must be careful not to get addicted to it.
 
There is no point in saying "technology" is bad for you. It's here to stay and it's only going to become more invasive in your life. We are already cybernetic organisms. We can't live without smartphones, internet, or many other technologies. So I don't believe in all this "don't let kids use smartphones" lol. Let them use it. Let them become one with it as soon as possible and faster and earlier than ever because the goal of humanity
is obviously to become one with technology/machine and we will be fused with it. So use it as much as you can, make it part of your life because it is life. It's the new life of transhumanism.

Hey buddy! Long time no see. Honestly, I don't prefer this direction we are heading in. I always wished we could stop progressing so quickly and go back to more "old fashioned" days hehe. So it's not my wish or desire. It's just the reality that we are heading toward and it's a very scary future.
