Galician Youth and the Internet: A Growing Disconnect?

Galician Youth Echo UK Survey: Growing Concerns Over Internet's Impact on Well-being A recent survey in the United Kingdom has revealed that almost half of young people between the ages of 16 and 21 wish they had grown up in a world without the internet. This sentiment is echoed in Galicia, Spain, where a news report by G24 Noticias features interviews with young people expressing similar concerns. One young woman interviewed stated, "I'm constantly connected with my friends and everything, but I'd like to leave it behind, but I can't." In contrast, a young man shared a different perspective: "I could live without it, but it would be a much more inconvenient life than the one I have now." The survey highlights the growing concern over the negative effects of excessive internet use on mental health and well-being. The contrasting views presented in the report underscore the complexity of the issue and the need for a balanced approach to technology use among young people. The report concludes with a call for greater awareness and responsible technology use.
