Una crítica reflexiva(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Jojoa López, Juan José; Rivera Hurtado, Ferney (Director)The lives of today's young people are torn between the allure of screens and the need for an active lifestyle. Technology, although a powerful tool for growth, can become a setback if not used wisely. The digital age offers remarkable innovations, such as home exercise apps and "digitalized sport," where young people combine gaming with physical routines, monitoring their activity and sharing progress online. However, the other side of the coin reveals significant risks. Many young people focus exclusively on gaming, leading a very sedentary lifestyle that leads to physical and mental health problems.
