Origin of the word screen time

The term "screen time" refers to the amount of time a person spends interacting with digital screens, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions. The term initially gained popularity in the 1990s, as certain educational and parenting organizations began addressing the potential negative effects of excessive screen time on children's development, including cognitive, emotional, and social well-being. The term has since become widely used in pediatric, psychology, and technology-related discussions, and is now part of the broader conversation surrounding digital media use and its impact on overall health and lifestyle. *Note: The term "screen time" is occasionally criticized for oversimplifying the nature of interaction with digital devices, as people may engage with them in vastly different ways with varying levels of quality and benefit. However, it remains a useful shorthand for describing the general trend of increased screen use in modern society.
