Let's get the ball rolling...
1. Roughly how many hours per week you use technology?
Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late!
1. Roughly how many hours per week you use technology?
Well, I'm on a computer for work, but aside from that I use my laptop for studying and I watch a few hours of Netflix a week. Sooo... at least 14 hours. Geez. Need to work on that!
1. Roughly how many hours per week you use technology?
If we're talking technically then 24/7 because nearly our whole world is technology whether it be a pen, paper, heater, computer, phone or even a table.
Talking about tech relevant to this chat like computers and phones I'd say too much although it's something I have to rely pretty heavily on for school. If I had to guess I'd say about 5-6 hours maybe.
So many hours! It would be difficult to estimate. @Ben-RO I am the same - wake up using it, ride using it, use it on public transport, when I am waiting, in class, when studying and during leisure time!
(Game of thrones watchers.....what an episode....)
Not sure we can definitely say computer screens wreck eyes but I noticed personally a correlation.
Hmm mine get sore but according to the Opthamolawhatsit I can still see good @May_ but apparently soreness is caused by another type of technology- airconditioning!
Okay so i think we're starting to hit this next question already, so i thought i might go ahead and ask it!
What do you primarily use technology for? (for example: social media, talking to friends, games, etc. etc.

I primarily use it for studying e.g. researching different articles on the internet, typing up assignments, social media (Facebook, tumblr, Twitter) and watching Netflix. Sooooo much Netflix.
