Although college students see benefits in unplugging from their technology for a day, they are more likely to describe negative experiences, such as boredom, distress, and to admit they are addicted to these devices, according to the International Center for Media & the Public Agenda at the University of Maryland. U.S. students are twice as likely to experience distress and feel addicted to media as they are to mention any benefit in unplugging from all technology for XX hours.
These findings remain relatively consistent across various countries although students in Argentina are three times more likely than their U.S. counterparts to describe XX hours without technology as "isolating." [HUMAN BEHAV-IOR/TECHNOLOGY]
