Teenagers Swap Smartphones for Reality: The 24-Hour Offline Experiment

LONDON — A recent study shows that the average teenager spends around 7 hours a day looking at screens. To test how this affects young people, a popular youth magazine asked a group of 15-year-old volunteers to participate in a "Digital Detox" experiment. The rules were simple: no smartphones, no internet, and zero gaming for exactly 24 hours.

The results were surprising. During the first few hours, most participants reported high levels of anxiety and boredom. Many admitted they automatically checked their empty pockets every five minutes.

However, by the evening, the situation changed. Without TikTok and online chats, the teenagers found alternative ways to spend their time. Some of them finally cleaned their rooms, others played board games with their families, and one volunteer even read a whole book in one sitting.

"At first, it felt like modern torture," says 15-year-old Alex, one of the volunteers. "But by the end of the day, I realized how much free time I actually have. It was a strange experience, but honestly, it was pretty cool."

Questions:

1. What is your opinion on this experiment? Do you think 7 hours of screen time a day is too much for a teenager?

2. Could you survive 24 hours without your phone? Why or why not?

3. If your school or parents banned smartphones for one weekend, what real-life activities would you choose to save yourself from boredom?

4. Imagine a world where the internet and smartphones completely disappear forever. What is the first thing that would change in your daily life?

5. Some parents use special apps to control their children's screen time or block certain websites. What do you think about this? Is it helpful or does it ruin trust?

6. In your opinion, can online communication and video games replace real-life friends and real hobbies? Why or why not?

Grammar

Over the last decade, social media (completely / change) the way teenagers communicate with each other.
If I (know) about the digital detox experiment last week, I (participate) in it, but I missed the deadline.
While Mark (scroll) through his TikTok feed yesterday, he suddenly realized he had wasted three hours.
