ABSTRACT:
purpose of this article is to evaluate the use of electronic devices during Covid-19 lockdowns in India. It discusses the increased use of electronic gadgets, the health impacts of electronic devices, and how electronic devices may be addictive. A sample of 53 participants was collected in which 34 were female and 18 were male. The findings suggest that individuals were influenced by excessive screen time and are attempting to limit their screen time due to health risks induced by electronic gadgets. We have then compared them with researches conducted by others across the world and we found similarities in the increase of screen time, health issues, etc. among people across the world. This research will form the foundation for similar research of these areas.
