It seems like the society of Sri Lanka is highlighting the widespread addiction to smartphones among both the youth and the elderly. Smartphone addiction, or excessive use of smartphones leading to negative consequences in various aspects of life, is indeed a growing concern across different age groups.

The ease of access to technology, social media platforms, and a variety of apps has contributed to this addiction. People, regardless of age, can become engrossed in their smartphones, leading to detrimental effects on their physical health, mental well-being, and social interactions.

For the youth, smartphones often play a significant role in socialization, entertainment, and education. Excessive use can impact their attention span, sleep patterns, and ability to engage in face-to-face interactions.


Similarly, older individuals might find smartphones beneficial for staying connected with family, accessing information, and entertainment. However, they might face challenges in understanding technology, which can lead to frustration and sometimes overuse as they attempt to grasp its functions.
Addressing smartphone addiction requires awareness, moderation, and healthy digital habits. Encouraging balanced use, setting boundaries, and promoting alternative activities that don't involve screens can help individuals of all ages manage their smartphone usage more effectively.
