Dr. Jyotsna Verma – Increasing Health Problems In Digital Age A Social Study – Abstract

Abstract

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise” by Benjamin Franklin, this phrase is learned and known by everyone from childhood. This is the first phrase that is taught in almost every school and this is not just a phrase it is the reality of life. But today the phrase is going opposite late to bed and late to rise makes a man unhealthy, unwealthy and unwise. Digital media has caged everyone, a cage of smartphones, digital gadgets, earbuds, AirPods and online applications (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others). In the digital age, youth are so engaged in the virtual world that they cannot imagine their life without it. From morning till night, youth update everything on social media and now it has become an important part of their life. This drastic lifestyle change has raised many health issues among youth and teenagers as they spend most of the time sitting on their sofas which is increasing health issues such as wrist pain, eye pain, back pain, etc. as well as mental problems like depression, frustration, and anger among people. Major steps must be taken by people themselves to overcome these health problems.
