Abstract

The increased dependency on technological devices as a result of the digital age being upon us impacts a multitude of individuals from all age groups. For older groups, they might find an easier time navigating the world wide web due to their awareness of the potential dangers these digital spaces may bring. On the other hand, younger age groups are more susceptible to the dangers posed due to their lack of maturity which in turn makes them extremely vulnerable to being negatively impacted when using these electronic devices. The goal of this project was to generate awareness concerning screen time in childhood. This writing piece enters into a discussion concerning the consequences posed when screen time is abused in childhood. As a supplement, a website was created in order to visualize, in user-friendly styled content, how parents can utilize screen time to be a helpful tool rather than a detrimental one.
