A future ruled by technology and enslaved in the hands of laptop screens is being feared by the researchers.

A recent research has shed light on the fact that the present generation spends too much time in front of screens. More than half of this generation may be spending 23 years of their life in front of screens. This sounds a good wastage of time in a human life span of 100 years.

The research states that 56% of the people stick to their TV screens, laptops, tablets and smartphones through the day. It unveils that men are much more glued to screens than women. Maximum of them are seen to spend more than 12 hours per day in front of screens.

The younger generation is even faster than present ones. They've also fallen into the trap of screen addiction. It can be noted that 30% of those aged 18-24 spend 12 hours each day to their screen addiction.

If this addiction is for entertainment, then the researchers have said that there is a multitude of alternatives for humans. This encapsulates activities like sports, walking, cycling and parks.

According to National Lottery Good Causes, "We want people of all ages to take up these opportunities and spend less time staring at the screen".
