How to End Digital Technology Addiction and Protect Your Mental Health

What tech addiction is, why it’s a problem, and how to solve it

Welcome to your first Tech Addicts Anonymous Meeting. I’m Erwin, and I am addicted to social media.

Who wants to stand up next? Do you have a problem? Or are you afraid someone you know might have an addiction to social media or digital technology in general? Let’s get into it, and let’s solve the problem, a.s.a.p.

Of course, the problem of social media and tech addiction has extra relevance in 2021, after or during the covid-19 pandemic and under worldwide lockdown conditions. Because if you were already suffering from digital technology addiction, that’s only bound to get way worse this year, if you don’t act soon.

And if you weren’t already hooked on social media specifically, and digital technology in general — the times we live in make it extra difficult for all of us to maintain a healthy relationship with these technologies.

Especially, because the main way most of us use information and communication technology, or ICT for short — is to connect to other people. And that’s something that we can only crave more during these times; to feel connected.
