Put down the phone! Now, a new device can help with Internet-addiction

JAKARTA: From browsing social media to watching videos and chatting with friends, Indonesian university student Tyas Sisianindita spends about eight hours a day on her phone.

“I realise that I am addicted,” the university student admitted, saying she checks her phone continuously from the time she wakes up, even when she is in classes.

“At night, when I can’t sleep, I can use my phone for up to five hours.”
