theacademic Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Dear all, I am involved in some university research that is looking at our use of screens in our everyday lives. We have compiled an anonymous survey via the following link where I hope you can spare a few minutes to share your important views.https://teesside.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/screen-society Thanks in advance.

Tony Le Mesmer Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Done. Got no idea why research is needed though. Just take a look around you. It's staring you in the face. Screens rule our zombiefied earth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think there are evolutionary factors involved in why humans are so easily addicted to portable internet devices Survival instincts are stronger when you feel safe and connected to other humans. The need to constantly "check-in" online is a way of proving to yourself that you are still safe and fully aware of the world around you Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I find it fascinating. I loath that we go out and about with a screen but at the same time I am addicted to my ipad at home. Its like having a library and being in the pub all at the same time. Out of the house I hardly touch my phone except to infrequently make / receive a phone call/text for something specific. I have noticed that a fair number people under 30 are awkward when forced to have face to face interactions. I am amazed at how people don't use the range of pitch and tone that their voices offer. Expression seems to be dependant on using a raft of set clichees to cover feelings that in the past were expressed with a modulated voice and facial expressed that tied in with it. The other curiosity is, how we all hide behind emails so we don't have to face the reaction to a difficult request. I think there are two ways of looking at it .. skills being lost or new skills evolving ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 is there any collation between excessive screen usage and dark rings around eyes and green skin, I went to a meeting last week and these people spend hours in front of screens and they looked fit to drop?
