Minors' screen time reaches two hours daily for 70 percent

Seven out of ten minors spend more than two hours per day in front of screens, according to recent data. The use of digital devices, including mobile phones, tablets, computers, televisions, and consoles, has become a normalized part of daily routines for children and adolescents.

Experts note that the age at which children first access technology is decreasing. In many households, devices are used to entertain children, facilitate mealtimes, or manage fatigue. The immediate availability of videos, games, and applications—often designed with features like autoplay and notifications to maintain attention—encourages continuous consumption.

The debate regarding digital use extends beyond total hours spent online to include how, for what purpose, and under what level of supervision the devices are used. Key factors for evaluating impact include age, content type, time of day, and the subsequent effects on sleep, physical activity, academic performance, and family relationships.
