Digital well-being in an age of mobile connectivity
Source: SAGE Journals
This Special issue brings together five academic articles that push the boundaries of digital well-being research by shedding light on the opportunities and challenges that people experience in relation to mobile connectivity, exploring the role of digital disconnection for digital well-being, and theorizing the conceptual underpinnings of digital well-being.
The editorial suggests that mobile connectivity has led to changes in social interactions and has had an impact on people's ability to focus and pay attention.
The editors propose that in order to improve digital well-being, it is important for individuals to be aware of their mobile device usage and the impact it has on their lives, and to take steps to set boundaries and limits on their usage.
