Most experts agree that adults should limit screen time to less than two hours per day outside of work-related activities. Excessive screen time not only produces its own negative effects like eye strain and headaches, but it also steals time from more healthful pursuits like forging real-world connections and exercise.
I usually spend 3-4 hours on screen besides work related activities and I am trying to reduce it.
Each age has its own time limit when working at a computer: Adults who spend a lot of time at a computer or laptop, etc., must comply with the time frame, this is no more than 8 hours during the day. In this case, you need to take small breaks of 10 - 20 minutes after an hour of work. In the digital age, it is difficult to follow the right regimen, but as we age, we pay for it with our health.

Experts say adults should limit screen time outside of work to less than two hours per day. Any time beyond that which you would typically spend on screens should instead be spent participating in physical activity.

Dear Dr. Ghulam,
I am spending on phone, computer and tv about 3-4 hours daily, especially in the night.
With kind regards.
In my opinion, the time spent on these devices is according to the needs. As an academic professional, the time spent now on online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic is much more than before.

Dear Professor,
Thank you for the interesting topic of discussion.
To be honest, I am not aware what is a good screen time limit. I guess it would vary from person to person.
Everyday I spent about 2 hours working on my laptop, smart phone, tab etc. when I am not with my professional work.
Best regards,
Anamitra.
It depends on how long your eyes (and your brain) can handle the nonsense you read on those devices.
The time in front of the screen for me is 5-6 hours. Of these about 4 hours of work on the computer and 2 hours on the TV, and Ipad, Thank you!
My computer program rest with the presentation of my publication , replying question raise by quite many members & I don't watch any Tv program & also smart phone .
This is my personal opinion
Spend around 3-4 hrs on my computer ; 2 hrs on my iPhone ; 1-2 hrs on TV screen
Well agreed the less time on the computer will help to reduce problems associated to long hour use of electronic device.
On mobile phones there are alternatives of using eye care on the phone so as to help reduce the exposure to the light source
@Miroslav Rusko, Nigeria is a developing country without state of the heart facilities for periodic checkups in cases of radiation to prevent cancer etc, as an environmental protection specialist, what country specific intervention can be done sir?
Screen time outside of work should be less than two hours per day. The rest of leisure time should be spent participating in physical activity.
Dear Dr. Ghulam Yaseen,
I spend on my phone, computer, and tv about 4-5 hours daily, especially at night.
Best regards.

As a lecturer, a researcher, and most importantly a father for 5 kids, I have seen over the years that the students, in general, haven’t real knowledge. From my personal perspective, the rationale behind this relates to the following facts:
- Most of their time is concentrating on social media, games, and music more than learning. In turn, they are weak in the research process.
- They think that their educators or instructors are not too smart to catch their plagiarize in the exams or assignments.
- Most of them are suffering from financial problems. Some work more than 12 hours per day. As a consequence, they haven’t time to sleep or read.
- The students haven't enough self-confidence. They believe that following the others is more valuable more than working on building themselves.
- Furthermore, they have a lack of ideas about the consequences of their decisions.
- Most of them haven't the ability to write a full completed paragraph. They usually use the copy-paste process for their assignments and projects.
- I am so sorry to say that most of them have an internal belief of why I should read and study if I can get high marks by cheating.
