Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY: TIME FOR CHANGE!

[I]Los Angeles dancer Brian Perez was dining with friends when he noticed an unsettling silence—everyone was glued to their phones. [II]. This inspired the game of ‘phone stacking,’ where all devices are placed in a pile during meals, and whoever picks theirs up first must pay the bill. [III]

This highlights a growing issue: our struggle to disconnect from technology. [IV]. While Brian’s idea addresses the problem socially, similar actions are needed at home. Some families drop their phones into a box upon arrival, making face-to-face interaction easier. With devices on silent and out of sight, the temptation to check them decreases.

A less extreme approach is banning electronic devices at certain times, such as family meals. Though challenging, especially for teenagers eager to text or parents dealing with work, dedicating less than an hour to family conversations offers meaningful benefits.

Beyond setting tech-free moments, knowing when to turn off devices is crucial. Time seems to freeze in the digital world, and suddenly, it's 3 AM. A digital curfew—designating a set time for shutting down devices—helps create a peaceful evening routine. Even better, keeping technology out of the bedroom ensures a better night’s sleep. The constant influx of information and device notifications can disturb rest, whereas a tech-free sleeping space draws a clear boundary between day and night.

By implementing these simple strategies, we can reduce our dependence on technology, improve relationships, and enjoy a healthier balance in our lives.
