Applied Research in Digital Wellbeing

Every aspect of our everyday life has been infiltrated by technology. In many cases,
technology has the potential to increase productivity in our subjects of study while
simultaneously enhancing social participation. Despite these advantages, technology
and digital services have the potential to have a detrimental impact on people’s
emotional, physical, and social wellbeing. Our interactions with the media have
changed as our lives and expectations have changed. To attain digital wellbeing and
mindfulness, it is not essential to use technology less frequently. Rather, it is about
critically questioning how we use technology and considering why we use it – do we
make a constructive decision or do we simply let ourselves be lured by the tempting
digital platforms?
