screen time as the sole hobby

When being in front of screens, e.g. doomscrolling on your smartphone for hours on end, now becomes the only hobby your have. This is because screen time has made you lose the interest on the hobbies you once enjoyed, hence you now prone to missing important things in life.

Ever since I got a new iPhone, I experience the phenomenon of screen time as the sole hobby; I spend hours doomscrolling and completely ignore my old passions like painting and hiking. It’s like I’m missing out on life while stuck in a digital bubble.

screen time fallacy

The misconception that a robot or AI's behavior can be attributed to excessive "screen time", similar to how it affects human children, ignoring the fundamental differences in programming, autonomy, and design between machines and humans. It's just a matter of coincidence that such humanoid robot was conceived and "born" at a lab with as many screens as a sci-fi spaceship.

Blaming the humanoid robot's inappropriate actions on a 'screen time fallacy' is just ridiculous; it’s not like it was sitting in front of an iPad binging brainrot contents!

screen time—self esteem syndrome

The phenomenon where you have low self-esteem due to screen time limits imposed by your parents, usually if your screen time limits imposed by parents are the strictest amongst all your classmates

With this screen time—self esteem syndrome, I worry if my classmates still continue to chat with me on WhatsApp even when my mom has said, "Get off your phone."

Screen and device era

The historical era in which people born post- Bill Clinton currently live and date

it's scary. In the screen and device era, regular dating era pickup lines- cheesy pickup lines among them-are dead.

screen munch

An old term for "screenshot", if you're old enough to remember BlackBerry QWERTY phones

Back in my BlackBerry days, we used to call a screenshot a screen munch—such a blast from the past!

Phil: " I'd like to fuck that waitress wouldn't you?"
Slick: " I already did this morning by putting her up on the screen".

short screen

Referring to a movie screen format which the top and bottom of the screen is cut off.During filming the round camera lens top and bottom is closed in to produce a short picture.This is mistakenly named widescreen since the screen is no wider than usual only shorter.

The short screen format cut off the actors forehead and chin during the closeup.
