Digital Assessment:
1. Do you text and drive even though you know it's not the safe thing to do?
2. Do you get the urge to use your smartphone when someone else is talking to you?
3. Do you ever feel something hasn't really happened until you post it on social media?
4. Does your family sit in the same room but not talk to each other because you are all interacting with your digital devices?
5. Do you find a ringing or vibrating cell phone interrupts and trumps everything else?
6. Do you ever lie about your internet or online gaming use?
7. Are you experiencing a loss of interest in other activities you used to enjoy?
8. Do you neglect yourself (sleeping/eating) because of time spent in the digital world?
9. Do you feel anxious if you are offline for a period of time?
10. Do you ever think about how you could focus better in real life without all these gadgets invading your space?
