Technology increases stress
Countless mails, messages, posts. Today, we spend most of our day connected to the internet and stuck in any kind of electronic devices. Social media and direct communication with anyone at any time of the day have turned into an internet obsession.

Stress increase by technology
Indeed, 65% of participants in a British survey said they would like to disable these devices. Also, according to the same survey, 30% of participants feel more anxious since they discovered smartphones. In the present study were included 15 adults under 40 years old, who spent a week with their favorite digital devices, making ordinary use of them and one week without them, and recorded their stress levels.
