In modern society, we spend much time using electronic devices, such as mobile phones and computers, to communicate with each other and complete our daily activities. Although we know that we should minimize the time spent on those devices, it is hard to achieve in reality, especially for those who are doing office work, which requires them to stare at the monitor all day.
