screen culture

Device-dominated living

Screen culture refers to the social patterns, habits, and shared experiences that emerge from widespread use of digital screens—phones, tablets, computers, televisions.

The term often carries concern about how constant screen exposure shapes attention, relationships, and childhood development: Parents worry about raising kids in screen culture.

It also describes the collective media literacy of people who grew up navigating multiple screens simultaneously.
