A recent study led by Dr. P. Gorganski has linked the amount of time we spend in front of screens with the widespread antidepressant epidemic: "from the time we wake up, to the time we go to bed, we are surrounded by screen-based devices. Of course, too much TV definitely won't make your eyes go square, but it can have other harmful consequences".
These include poor sleep, strained eyesight and lack of face-to-face interaction driving emotional underdevelopment and depression.
Gorganski's study found that 2 in 3 people take antidepressants and lack of social interaction is the leading cause. Meanwhile the average person spend 82% of their time communicating through a device rather than in person and relationships are suffering for it. In response, CyberLife has introduced a "home-psychologist" add-on for your android, in a bid to teach us how to communicate again. The upgrade costs $150 but can benefit the whole family with group therapy sessions and activities adapted for children and adults.
But Gorganski is skeptical: "our society is hooked on technology - I don't think yet more technology is the answer. Just go outside and talk to someone".
