A recent report by Data.ai finds that humans spend a combined 4.1trillion hours – or 470million years – staring at their phone screens in 2022.
While many see benefits in smartphones allowing a person to be connected to the rest of the world at any given time, research shows the devices could harm our mental and physical health.
