SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
