Study of Cognitive Functioning Among Smart Phone Users and Its Correlation with Loneliness

Abstract

The digital era has exerted a profound influence on everyday life, offering convenience but 
also fostering addictive behaviors. The constant compulsion to check digital devices induces 
stress and cultivates a captivating, almost compulsive, behavior among individuals. This 
cascade effect perpetuates a state of constant activity, leaving little room for rest or 
mindfulness. While digital devices enhance awareness and connectivity, their excessive use is 
associated with a range of detrimental health effects, including cognitive impairments, 
musculoskeletal issues, and restlessness.
