Goals

"More and more people feel stressed by the excessive use of digital devices and the number of "digital detox" offers is increasing. This development does not even stop at young people. A surprising result: 35 percent of young people already perceive digital time stress. Parents, in particular, are strongly challenged here as contact persons. Family rules for everyday life with smartphones & co. can help to reduce the pressure. Noteworthy: The first pioneers among young people give practical tips in order to practice a more balanced online consumption in everyday life."
