We use technology for everything, from shopping to socializing. With the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, we have become even more reliant on technology for all our needs. However, the long-term effects of using technology are still unclear.
California State University, Northridge psychology professor, Delinah Hurwitz, will be undertaking a research initiative to examine the effects of excessive screen time on students.

She also saw the difficulties her daughter faced when solely
communicating with friends through video calls and text messages. This
piqued her interest.
