What are the problems caused by over-reliance on mobile phones?
"Mobile phone disease" refers to a morbid phenomenon caused by people's over-reliance on mobile phones, which has an impact on physical and mental health. Nowadays, it is very common to bow your head and swipe your mobile phone anytime and anywhere, from the silver-haired elderly to the teenagers.
Last week, a survey of 2007 respondents conducted by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily (wenjuan.com) showed that only 23.4% of respondents used their mobile phones for a total of less than three hours a day. 88.3% of the respondents felt that their long-term reliance on mobile phones had brought them some health problems. 80.6% of respondents now consciously control the amount of time they spend using their mobile phones.
Only more than 20% of the respondents use their mobile phones for less than 3 hours a day.
Wang Kaiping, an employee of a central enterprise in Shandong, keeps his cell phone in his hand and checks it every few minutes. Chatting, browsing forums and browsing car information websites, coupled with the need for work, he spends at least four hours a day on his mobile phone. "now a mobile phone is a must when you go out. Whether it is dealing with work, shopping, parking fees, such as daily life, can not be separated from the mobile phone. "
Song Dong, a 24-year-old college student, is a heavy "Phubber". Now he is an intern in a private company. Although his work is intense, he often pulls out his mobile phone to browse Wechat and Taobao. On rest days, he spends at least half a day browsing short videos, watching movies and listening to music. "the mobile phone is used very frequently and consumes a lot of electricity, so it has to be recharged two or three times a day. Sometimes I just close it and want to open it again, and sometimes I can brush it for two hours in a row.
Su Xinghao, who works in the media, uses her mobile phone for more than 4 hours a day, up to 8 hours a day, with an average of 14 minutes to unlock the phone. "what I watch most is Weibo. I like to watch the hot search list and browse new and current events." She feels that if self-control is weak, it is very easy to waste a lot of time on browsing the phone.
Youjing, a third-year graduate student at a university in Beijing, recently spent more than an hour a day studying makeup videos, but Wechat uses the most time among all kinds of applications. "even if there is no news, I will flip through it." Every day before I go to bed, I will specially look at the length of time I use my phone. It is very common for me to use my phone for more than 5 hours. She told reporters that when she returned to her hometown, she found that her parents' generation also liked browsing their mobile phones, especially short videos.
According to statistics, 23.4% of the respondents spent less than 3 hours a day using their mobile phones, 45.0% of them spent 3-5 hours, and 31.6% of them used their phones for more than 5 hours.
What are people doing when they are browsing their phones? According to the survey, most people watch news (74.0%), followed by social networking (72.5%), short videos (68.9%), and others: online shopping (56.0%), watching movies / programs (51.3%), making phone calls (43.3%), and playing games (31.0%).
What are the problems caused by over-reliance on mobile phones? Eye fatigue and dryness, decreased eyesight and decreased sleep quality ranked in the top three.
"recently, after playing with my mobile phone for a long time, I feel that my vision has become blurred. I often look up and find that it is very difficult for my eyes to focus." When he woke up one morning, Wang Kai found that he suddenly couldn't see the phone screen clearly. Rubbing his eyes several times didn't work. He was frightened at that time. "it took him a while to close his eyes to see clearly." I'm worried about something wrong with my eyes. "
Youjing said that the addiction to playing with her mobile phone often makes her eyes sore and swollen. Although she can still see clearly with her current glasses, she is not as clear as before. "her eyesight is constantly declining. Now I will try to take a rest every 20 minutes. Neither of my parents is 50 years old, but my eyes have been dazzled for the past two years because they often swipe their mobile phones.
88.3% of the respondents felt that their long-term reliance on mobile phones had brought them some health problems. The post-90s generation (90.1%) felt most obviously, followed by the post-80s generation (88.8%). Specifically, eye fatigue and dryness (68.3%) was the most common, followed by decreased vision (65.7%), followed by decreased sleep quality (57.5%), cervical spondylosis (43.0%), deterioration of facial skin (39.3%), and accelerated aging caused by wrinkles (19.6%).
Long Qin, chief ophthalmologist at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that brushing your phone for a long time and in the wrong position can have a negative impact on your eyes. "first of all, to use a mobile phone is to use your eyes at close range. Staring at the mobile phone screen for a long time will accelerate the decline of teenagers' eyesight. Although adults have passed a sensitive period of visual development, there will be 'spastic myopia', which is myopia caused by ciliary spasm. If you brush your phone for a long time, it will cause permanent loss of eyesight. Second, when brushing the phone, the eyes stare at the screen, blinking fewer times, resulting in tear film damage, which in turn leads to eye diseases such as xerophthalmia. " She said that studies have shown that blue light from mobile phones can damage the corneal epithelium to a certain extent. When the eyes are exposed to blue light for a certain period of time, it can lead to xerophthalmia or other corneal epithelial lesions.
Cui Hongping, director of ophthalmology at Dongfang Hospital affiliated to Tongji University and associate professor at Tongji University, said that normal people's ciliary muscles contract and relax, and the thickness of the lens changes, so that the eyes have the ability to adjust the visual range, but this ability can last up to 40-45 minutes. If you look at the phone for more than this time, it means that the eyes are in a state of tension at close range for a long time, resulting in a decline in eye adjustment ability, visual fatigue, vision loss and so on. And the ability of eye adjustment weakens with age, so adults browsing their mobile phones for a long time will be more likely to aggravate ciliary spasm and cause visual fatigue.
80.6% of the respondents will consciously control the time they spend using mobile phones.
Wang Kai is in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend, so it's not easy to meet. He said frankly that only when he is with his girlfriend, can he stop browsing his mobile phone. Usually he is alone and checks his mobile phone every few minutes. He feels that browsing his cell phone has become a subconscious action, and it is difficult to change it all at once. "now is the 5G era, the role of mobile phones is becoming more and more important, but the harm to health can not be ignored. I am now constantly reminding myself not to be 'kidnapped' by my mobile phone and to have a richer life. For example, I used to like to stay at home and browse my mobile phone on weekends, but now I will go shopping and ask friends to dinner. "
"the function of the mobile phone is so powerful that as soon as you open it, you will involuntarily fall into the state of ineffective browsing the phone, immersing yourself in things such as browsing short videos and browsing Taobao, which can lead to instant happiness." Su Xianhao just got a new pair of glasses last month, and the degree has increased by 100 degrees. As for how to effectively alleviate cell phone dependence, she believes that we should try to divert attention. "one is to have a clear purpose and put it down consciously after operating the phone." The other is to change your behavior and expand your interest. If you have something you want to do more than browsing your phone, you won't be attracted to it all the time. "
Youjing recently went to the school hospital to check her eyesight, and the doctor prescribed eye drops and especially told her that continuing to brush her cell phone after turning off the lights at night was particularly harmful to her eyes, and even if she was an adult, it did not mean that her eyesight was "stereotyped" and used her eyes unreasonably. Eyesight will still decline. "I am now limited to three hours on my phone. When I do my homework and read the literature, I will force myself not to look at my mobile phone. So far, the results are good. "
In the survey, 80.6% of the respondents now consciously control the time they spend using their mobile phones. Among them, the proportion of post-80s is relatively higher, which is 82.3%.
Among the respondents, the post-00s accounted for 1.8%, the post-90s accounted for 31.2%, the post-80s accounted for 49.2%, the post-70s accounted for 13.8% and the post-60s accounted for 3.4%. Men account for 46.7% and women account for 53.3%. People living in one city accounted for 33.1%, two cities accounted for 47.4%, three cities accounted for 16.6%, and towns or counties accounted for 2.6%.
