Re: One flaw in method ...
I wonder how "screen time" is determined too. Is it literally looking at a screen, or do less visual type activities count too?
I use a sleep app to help me fall asleep at night (it's some Scottish guy doing guided meditations) and sometimes listen to podcasts to fall asleep to as well.
I also use my phone for tracking activity or nutrition goals, as a pomodoro timer, a pedometer, gps while driving (just the sound part) and taking photos/videos.
(I always think of "screen time" as visual, but it occurs to me that visually-impaired have screen time too)

And after all those years of being warned not to sit too close the TV, we all got jobs sitting 6 inches away from computer screens :)

Re: Staring at a Screen
It sure is!
I remember telling my typing teacher in high school that I had higher aspirations than a job which required me to have typing skills...not only was I a complete brat, I was completely wrong as well!

Re: Staring at a Screen
@faryl - your post made me laugh. I avoided typing class in high school, then also avoided the computer lab in college in the early 90s. I would write all of my papers by hand, then drive to a woman's house at 3am when I was done, put it inside her screen door, go to bed, then wake up before class and pick it up. Boy did that come back to bite me a few years later when the primary task in my first job was emailing back and forth with Hong Kong!

Three words: Computer Vision Syndrome.
Pretty sure I have that now. I refuse to believe it is my aging eyes!

Re: Staring at a Screen
LOL! I had a similar experience once I went to college, only without the typist to do it for me :)
(And now I hate having to hand-write anything!)

Re: Staring at a Screen
@faryl I much prefer typing to handwriting. It's much faster, neater, and easier to modify without starting from the beginning.

Re: Staring at a Screen
I agree!
Handwriting never feels like it keeps up with what my brain wants to say (if that makes sense!)
