Do you check your phone first thing in the morning? Feel anxious without it? Studies show excessive screen time affects focus, sleep, and real-life connections. Share your thoughts — are we too glued to our screens?
“I wouldn’t say I’m addicted, but I can’t imagine going a day without my cellphone. In today’s world, everything revolves around it — it’s our main tool for communication. Social media keeps us informed about global events, our communities, and the lives of those around us. We handle so many daily tasks and even business on our phones. It’s simply the new normal, and it makes life so much easier.” Monique van der Walt, Thabazimbi “Yes, I am. Every morning, before getting ready for work, I have to check WhatsApp.” Thandi da Silva, Thabazimbi
