As a group of young people, we’ve noticed that a significant portion of our time is spent in front of mobile device screens, often scrolling through platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok. We frequently get so absorbed in it that we forget about daily responsibilities, meetings with family, or friends. We often catch ourselves spending hours watching reels on YouTube or Instagram, which promote products or content that have little educational value and don’t enrich our lives. In many cases, the influencers we follow promote consumerism, encouraging us to buy things we don’t actually need. We observed that it’s not just us but also our friends who spend a lot of time on their phones and computers, consuming content that doesn’t contribute much to our personal growth. We conducted an experiment where we decided to check how much time we actually spend in front of screens. It turned out that, on average, each of us uses our phones for 10-11 hours a day, which was quite shocking. Therefore, we decided to limit our phone use for three days to only educational or practical purposes, such as checking information needed for school or signing up for extracurricular activities. As a result, we spent an average of 2-3 hours a day on our phones, which made us realize that we spend 7-8 hours a day on content that doesn’t add any value to our lives. Analyzing our results, we noticed that most of this time was spent browsing shopping sites, watching videos on YouTube, or scrolling through reels on Instagram and Facebook, as well as on low-value content from TikTok. We compared our observations with expert research and found that the National Research Institute NASK regularly studies the online behavior of Polish teenagers. According to a report, in 2020, the average Polish teenager spent about 12 hours a day in front of a screen, including 4 hours and 50 minutes during free time and 7 hours and 41 minutes during remote lessons. According to NASK, such extensive internet use leads to issues such as mood changes, internet addiction, family conflicts, and escaping into the virtual world as a way to avoid problems. In response to this, we want to organize a youth exchange that will provide a space to take a break from the virtual world and help participants better understand themselves. During this exchange, we will share experiences regarding internet use, analyze how young people cope with excessive online activity, and explore the strategies they use to reduce screen time. The participants will include both those who are addicted to the internet and those who don’t feel the need to be constantly online.
