\n Research conducted by broadband provider, Trooli, has examined the impact of technology on people’s mental health.\n<\/p>\n
\n The study found that 39 percent of residents believe their wellbeing would benefit from less screentime. A further third (30 percent) admit they depend on tech to feel better about themselves.\n<\/p>\n
\n Poor tech skills are also reportedly impacting residents\u2019 relationships with technology, with more than a tenth (13 percent) of those who struggle to use technology stating that they feel isolated due to their lack of skills.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, the research suggests that many residents don\u2019t recognise the negative impact technology is having on their mental health.\n<\/p>\n
\n Almost three-quarters (70 percent) actually believe they have a healthy relationship with their tech, and 78 percent feel in control of their tech usage.\n<\/p>\n
\n Andy Conibere, CEO of Trooli, said: \u201cOur research shows that Dorset locals are suffering with poor digital wellbeing, often without even realising the negative impact their tech habits are having.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Establishing a healthy relationship with technology can be challenging, especially for those generations that grew up during a time of rapid digital tech innovation. However, simple changes, like scheduling regular breaks and limiting scroll time on certain apps, can make the world of difference and ensure technology isn\u2019t a drain, but a force for good in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Research conducted by broadband provider, Trooli, has examined the impact of technology on people’s mental health.
