New Jersey AJR180 designates the first Friday of May each year as "NJ's Unplug Day." This annual observance aims to improve well-being by reducing dependence on electronic devices. The resolution notes that Americans spend over five hours daily on their phones, with many wanting to reduce usage. It highlights the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation for limiting screen time, especially for children, and the negative effects of reduced face-to-face social interaction.
