Abstract

Based on the analysis of scientific publications by Russian specialists, the article examines the positive and negative impact of modern digital devices on human well-being. The article identifies the positive and negative aspects of the use of gadgets by the population, with a focus on the harmful effects of electronic devices on individual health. It is shown that children and young adults are the most susceptible to the negative psychological consequences of excessive use of gadgets. The negative effects of digital addiction on physical health are categorized based on their impact on various organs (vision, hearing, spine, and brain). The article presents the author's recommendations on how to reduce the risks of negative consequences of using digital devices on public health (depending on the distribution of responsibility: state, employer, and individual).
