The speech discusses the growing challenge of staying focused in a world heavily influenced by technology. While advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital platforms have brought many benefits such as efficiency, improved healthcare, and convenience—they also contribute to rising levels of technology addiction. This issue is particularly common among teenagers, who are constantly exposed to screens and social media.To address this problem, the speaker offers several practical strategies. First, limiting internet use to specific times can help individuals stay organized and reduce unnecessary distractions. Structured usage encourages better time management and more intentional engagement with technology. Second, raising awareness and educating people especially teenagers about the dangers of overuse is crucial. Since young people are the most at risk, parents and educators play an important role in guiding them toward healthier tech habits. Third, turning off social media notifications is recommended to prevent frequent interruptions. These alerts often lead to prolonged, unplanned usage that takes away from focus and productivity. Lastly, the speaker suggests seeking professional help if self-guided strategies aren’t enough. Support from trusted individuals like family or counselors can be valuable.In conclusion, while technology improves many aspects of life, it also brings challenges. Staying focused requires setting boundaries, educating ourselves and others, and using technology wisely and in moderation.
