“Half of Americans now deliberately spend less time on screens, and the choice is paying off. People who create screen-free windows in their day say they feel more productive, more present with loved ones, and more aware of what’s happening around them. But here’s the kicker: 70% of time spent online actually leaves people feeling disconnected and lonely rather than connected to others.

Gen Z is driving this shift. Despite growing up with smartphones as extensions of their hands, 63% now intentionally unplug. That’s the highest rate of any generation surveyed. Millennials follow at 57%, then Gen X at 42% and baby boomers at 29%. Digital natives, it turns out, are the first to recognize what all that connectivity is costing them.”
