Technology usage has skyrocketed over the past decade. Too much screen time might interfere with opportunities to gain greater benefits that experiencing a larger variety of activities offers. When it comes to recreational screen time for kids and teens, I would say 1-2 hours on school days is a reasonable amount. On weekends and holidays, perhaps 3-4 hours of recreational screen time is a reasonable amount. On the other hand, for adults, as much of the work today involves the use of technology, I would say 6 hours per day for average workers and 8 to 10 hours per day for workers in the IT industry. This being said, any further usage of technology will be deemed as too much.
