No Screen, No Life? - Did The Detox Work?

31 Jan 2025 10:00pm
Five teens battle withdrawal symptoms as they suffer through their 10-day digital detox. Will they stick with it or will they cave and crack open the locked box that holds their devices? 
About the Show

Singapore will be blocking teenagers’ access to apps not meant for their age group. This may in turn curb their screen use. But just how bad is their screen usage?  

For the first time, we conduct a national survey to find out just how bad teenagers’ screen use is and what their attitudes and expectations are regarding their screen time.   

Apart from the survey, we get five regular teenagers to swop their smartphones for brick phones for 10 days. And we follow their time away from their screens, chronicling the frustration, their well-being and their time management. 

We also want to find out if excessive screen usage may be altering the brains of a whole generation of young people and we conduct cognitive tests before and after the detox, to find out if removing their smartphones will make them happier, healthier and better able to learn.
