Abstract
The study explores impact of increased screen time and higher inclination toward digital gaming on physical and mental development of learners. An in-depth
illustration of link between these digital factors and learners’ overall development is emphasised in this article, which is backed up with adequate statistical
interpretations. This article is further developed with assistance of secondary qualitative data regarding research subject area, which has helped to review preexisting information in a systematic manner. Furthermore, importance of physical
interventions is also discerned explicitly. Every detail provided by data raises
concerns for learners’ physical and mental health challenges, which in turn, accentuates this article’s profundity.
