摘要

The widespread integration of technology into daily life, with 5.45 billion internet users in 2024, presents both opportunities and challenges. While digital tools enhance communication, productivity, and information access, excessive technology use has been linked to digital addiction, mental health issues, and work-life imbalances. This study develops a comprehensive conceptual framework for digital wellbeing, outlining key attitudes, behaviors, and strategies for balanced technology use. Drawing on theoretical perspectives and empirical findings, the study identifies practical insights such as screen time management, digital literacy programs, and organizational policies including training programs and wellness initiatives that promote healthier digital engagement. The findings offer valuable guidance for individuals, educators, organizations, and policymakers, contributing to the creation of more sustainable digital environments.
