It often becomes evident when people experience panic or anxiety when they forget their phones at home or are unable to use them temporarily.

Keeping up with what is happening in the world is generally seen as an essential part of being a well-informed and educated citizen. Watching, listening to or reading the news can satisfy our curiosity, make us think, help us make choices and even avoid danger. However, people are increasingly wondering if staying up to date with what is going on is good for us. The frequency, speed and way we access news has completely changed over the past few decades. Whereas previously most newspapers were published daily and TV and radio news broadcasts were limited, now we are constantly bombarded with news from all sides; we have 24-hour news channels. The content of news reports is almost always negative. [I] Throughout history, our survival has depended on noticing threats and avoiding danger, so the human brain is hard-wired to seek out information that is frightening or alarming.[II] It is about humans paying more attention to negative things because that kept us alive in the past and this is reflected in the news we consume. [III] In addition, because people now use smartphones to record events live, the news we see has become far more graphic and shocking.[IV] Recent studies have shown that our news habits have disadvantages for our physical and emotional health. In one survey, over 50 percent of Americans reported that the news caused them stress and anxiety, often causing tiredness or poor sleep. Research by psychology expert Graham Davey has also proved that watching terrible or sad news on TV can worsen people's moods and make them worry more about their own lives. Exposure to this ever-increasing bad news can take a toll on our positivity and affect our health. While it is true that staying aware and informed is not a bad thing, we should not forget that we have a choice, not only about how much news we consume, but equally importantly about the kind of news we want to see.
