- Electronics addiction is a modern behavioral issue where a person becomes excessively dependent on electronic devices — smartphones, computers, TVs, video games, or social platforms. Technology is helpful, but when it controls your time, mood, and attention, it becomes harmful. At Slomo E‑De‑Addiction Centre we help people slow down, reconnect with real life, and restore balance.
About Electronics Addiction
Major Causes of Electronics Addiction
- Instant Rewards & Dopamine Triggers — Apps and platforms give rapid, small rewards (likes, points, notifications) that create a craving loop.
- Loneliness & Emotional Escape — Screens are an easy refuge from stress, pain, or isolation.
- Peer Pressure & FOMO — The urge to stay constantly connected drives endless scrolling and comparison.
- Boredom & Lack of Purpose — Without hobbies or goals, devices become default entertainment.
- Gaming & Streaming — Engaging mechanics and bingeable content keep users hooked for hours.
