هل تستطيع اليابان إجبار الجميع على ترك هواتفهم؟

The city of Toyoaki in Japan has enacted a new law that limits the use of smartphones and digital devices to two hours a day outside of work and school hours.

The Purpose of the Law

Mayor Masafumi Koki noticed an increase in school absenteeism and youth addiction to screens, so he decided to reduce the time wasted in front of digital devices.

Lack of Penalties

Although the law is symbolic and does not include monitoring or penalties, it relies on Japanese social pressures to encourage residents to reduce their phone usage.

Reactions from Residents

Many high school students stated that they use their phones for more than the allowed two hours, expressing doubts about the law's enforcement.

Future Challenges

Will Toyoaki succeed in changing its residents' behavior towards a more balanced life between the digital world and family life?
