Evaluation

Overall the article was good and helpful on the main idea of technology but I also feel as if there wasn’t much references to actual statistics are surveys proofing excessive use in people in our generation today. As well as I believe a lot more emphasis should have been put upon the negative side effects that digital addiction brings to people. For instance the article from forbes.com “Internet Addiction: The New Mental Health Disorder?” by Alice G. Walton also explains similar issues to technology addiction, but does provide you with resources and references from reliable sources with reliable more convenient useful — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.211.83 (talk) 07:28, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Proposed Edit On "Children using digital devices"

After doing research on the effects that technology has on children, I feel that there is information I could bring to this article to make it stronger. I noticed under the section titled "Children using digital devices" it is fairly short and pulls from only one source. There is a lot that I could contribute to this section to back up the claims made. I do not intend to remove any information in the section but rather work around it and improve upon, where the information there is valid but just vague. For instance, it mention how effects of digital devices are obesity and poor muscle tone in children but it does not say why. I could bring in a simple change to explain this but also connect it to other effects, while adding more sources. Mary Jayne Winters (talk) 19:41, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Merge discussion

Hello. I did a Bold merger as part of a longer term project of mine to improve English wikipedia's coverage of Digital media use and mental health.
Reason for merger

If the need for a merge is obvious, editors can be bold and simply do it. 

• This article has required cleanup since 2015 but in my opinion the scope and title made it impossible.

Overlap: There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap. In an effective merge to digital media use and mental health content from this page was brought over in January 2019, and improved as part of the good article review of that page.

Context: If a short article requires the background material or context from a broader article in order for readers to understand it. We can see that consensus at mobile phone overuse is to avoid the terminology of "addiction" in relation to overuse of mobile phones. I have a detailed discussion with reliable sources in the history and terminology section of the article I wrote using the content from this page.

Related articles can be seen at this template.

I am happy if required for this to be further discussed or the reverted, however I suspect this will be relatively non-controversial.
