why is it unhealthy to stare at phones for long periods of time (like on social media) but healthy to read books?
In: Technology
Some things being unhealthy about phones are:
a) you are mostly standing and look most of the time down – bad for your neck/shoulders
b) the blue-light like others said before
c) Internet generally and social media specially can result into an addiction
and last but not least: while reading a book you need more focus than reading some ‘inspirational’ quotes on Facebook or watching some self-promoting pseudo-celebrities. (That doesn’t mean there is no knowledge available!)
Oh, and another thing: Almost every time a book uses correct grammar, punctuation and spelling, most of the internet doesn’t (myself with this post included) get proof-read and edited, same for messages.
While reading a book you see and read correct language, most time on the phone you don’t.
