It’s all about balance.
Would you say your number of hours in front of a screen from task 1 is balanced? Or is it maybe a little too much?
If it is too much, you may defend that time by thinking things like “but it’s fun.” Or maybe-
“what harm can it do, it’s only a few hours.”
Well let’s have a look at it.
Just for a second, let’s use fizzy drinks as an example ????
Fizzy drinks are packed with sugar and are bad for your teeth- we all know that.
If you have one fizzy drink, are all your teeth going to rot and fall out instantly? Of course not! Otherwise no one would drink them! Can you imagine that!?
The Coca Cola adverts would be full of people smiling with no teeth! Not a great way to sell a product!
The real damage from fizzy drinks comes from having a lot of them over a long period of time.
One fizzy drink every once in a while as part of a balanced diet- not so much damage.
One EVERY DAY for 3 years…lots of damage!!
365 (days) x 3 (years) = 1,095 days =
1,095 fizzy drinks!!
Let’s keep using this same example. But imagine that instead of 1 fizzy drink per day, we actually have 6! 6 fizzy drinks over 3 years= 6,570 fizzy drinks!! I think all your teeth would’ve fallen out by then!!
