Facebook has announced a new feature towards Digital Wellbeing, an approach to help people to maintain a balance between their digital and real worlds.
About:
Facebook has announced a new feature that will alert users once they have spent more than a pre-set amount of time on the platform, a step towards digital wellbeing.
Arguments in favour:
According to a study published (in May 2018) by Aligarh Muslim University, majority of students used their smartphones for 4-7 hours every day.
Obsession with the mobile devices is due to "FOMO" or the "fear of missing out."
Increasing time spent in the virtual world not only affects physical wellbeing but also leads to cutting oneself from relationships in their physical universe.
Earlier this year, Google also announced series of steps towards digital wellbeing.
