mobile connectivity and well-being. The author argues that achieving digital well-being requires a delicate balance between the benefits and drawbacks of ubiquitous connectivity. The article then proposes a dynamic systems model of digital wellbeing, suggesting that it is influenced by person, device, and context specific factors. This model highlights the importance of considering the interconnectedness of various elements, rather than focusing solely on-screen time as a primary cause of problems. The author also discusses the implications of this dynamic systems model for research methodologies and advocates for the use of more sophisticated approaches, such as device logging and mobile experience sampling, to capture the nuances of digital well-being.
