Gen Z faces "tech regret" due to smartphone overuse

Many in Generation Z are experiencing "tech regret," feeling remorse over excessive smartphone use. A recent survey shows over 80% check their phones within minutes of waking, and 85% can't go a day without them. This generation, which grew up with technology, is now questioning its impact. Some advocate for limits on screen time and support banning smart devices for children. As a response, more young people are promoting "digital detoxes" and using simpler phones to encourage real-life interactions. The movement aims to help individuals find a balance between technology and daily life.
