Impact of Excessive Screen Time on U.S. Economy 과도한 스크린 타임이 미국 경제에 미치는 영향
Excessive screen time, prevalent among American workers, is imposing significant costs on both individuals and the economy. With over 104 million people spending more than seven hours daily in front of screens, symptoms such as Digital Eye Strain(DES) are rampant. This leads to productivity loss and a staggering $73 billion annual economic burden.
The symptoms, including vision issues and mental strain, are exacerbated by prolonged screen exposure, affecting overall well-being. EDS, induced by just two hours of daily screen time, manifests in various discomforts and poses risks to both phyical and mental health. However, proactive measures such as regular eye check-ups and using eye drops can help.
The potential savings per individual through proper eye care highlight the importance of adopting healthier screen time habits. One study emphasizes the necessity of addressing the adverse effects of excessive screen time on individual health and economic productivity. It particularly shows the importance of annual eye exams in maintaining overall heath.
