A recent report, 'Age of Autopilot', highlights that UK adults spend an average of four hours daily on their smartphones, with 36% of this time being unintentional scrolling. Dr Eleanor Drage from Cambridge University notes that this behavior is influenced by the immersive nature of technology. Despite awareness of tools to manage screen time, many individuals struggle to implement them effectively. The report, based on surveys of 6,000 people aged 16 and over, indicates that excessive screen time can lead to negative experiences, such as feeling worse after use. Experts recommend disabling notifications for non-essential apps and engaging in offline activities to combat mindless scrolling. Drage aims to make technology use more manageable and is involved in a five-year research initiative funded by Virgin Media O2 to explore the impacts of generative AI. The findings encourage a reevaluation of how smartphone design affects user habits, emphasizing the need for a balance between engagement and control.
