A Guide on How Not to Be a Screen Zombie
Published 17th June 2020
A free online safety guide on how not to be a screen zombie.
It’s not always easy to tell if you’ve been spending too much time on your device. Mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, TV’s; the list of devices you might have access to seems never-ending and switching between them can be seamless. However, too much time on your device could lead to certain problems and could be an indicator of an addictive habit. It’s impossible therefore that you try and manage your screen time as much as possible and avoid becoming a ‘screen zombie’.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as mental wellbeing, screen addiction and grooming.
