John La Puma, MD, a physician in Santa Barbara, California, is concerned about how much doctors are using technology and, to provide perspective, he recently organized an event at a local regenerative organic farm with the express goal of giving doctors at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara, California, a respite from technology — and maybe even boost their brains in the process.
However, doctors say that they try to be self-disciplined about screen time and report spending, on average, 3.6 hours per day on their cell phones, laptops, or TV, which turns out to be 46% less than most users who spend an average of 6 hours online, according to DataReportal, a digital reference library.
