It is impossible to imagine our daily lives without our smartphone and social media; as a student, you may recognize this in yourself.
We can also ask ourselves the question whether we have not become too much attached to it, not to say addicted to it...
More and more scientific studies point to a number of negative effects for students, such as poorer exam results, continuous partial attention, loss of time by multitasking, digital ego and fear of missing out, etc...
In this Psywest session we will first look at some trends regarding smartphone use in Flanders, and then zoom in on our smartphone use as students in order to get a better view of our own digital DNA, under the motto : “to measure is to know”.
Once we have unraveled our smartphone use, we can decide to use it differently, and more consciously.
We can possibly opt for a digital detox, such as during a vacation period, but this is only a short-term solution, because inevitably we will pick up the thread again afterwards.
