Abstract
Presently, the introduction of recent technological gadgets has caught the global population's attention. People are now so dependent on technical devices and the services they offer that they cannot go in the course of their progress without them. The degree of dependence is causing digital products and services to become addictive. The study was designed to look at how people use tech devices, how much time they spend using it, why they use it, and how it affects their lifestyle and mental health. For data collection in this study, a structured questionnaire, unstructured interviews, and researcher observation were all used. The primary data were collected from 150 respondents from Imo State and Anambra State. The study's findings revealed that the most of the young respondents spent a lot of time utilizing their tech-related devices and services. Once more, it is clear that addiction to technological gadgets has numerous detrimental effects on respondents' mental health and has contributed to the shift in the lifestyles of participants' young. A reminder application system, as an alert, was developed to remind the user of the time spent browsing the internet. The system demands the user specify the time to use for browsing. Keywords: Gadgets, Mental Health, Lifestyle, Addiction, Technology.
