1. I think over 4 hours is way too much, although between all of the modern-day technological needs, I don't know a person who has a screen-time average of under 6 hours.
2. Honestly I don't think tracking your screen time will reduce it at all because I do it, and so do a lot of people I know, and we all become aware of how often we use our technology, but can't change it; especially with online school and assignments now, plus the need to call and text friends since we can't see them in person, and just to relax in general. So no, I think it makes people more mindful of their screentime but will not reduce it.
3. I definitely think our phones are addictive because they become a part of our everyday lives. Think about it - we know we have hours upon hours of screentime between school, social media, and games, but we don't stop. Why don't we stop? Because we can't - we're addicted to constantly being updated on every single thing going on in the world and in our friends' and families' lives, along with that sense of security in knowing we can contact anyone we want at any time.
4. The study isn't going to change much in ten years - everyone will still have hours of screen-time and honestly, with the amount of things becoming digital, the results will probably be worse than they are right now.
