In this time and condition, we are doing everything online, including learning. The pandemic has put technology to the test to help us with our normal daily activities. But, technology has been proven to have not only positive effects but also negative. It helps us with our daily activities and needs but it also distracts us with other contents that strays us from our work. In this era of new normal, it is imperative for us to know how to maintain a good sense of healthy mental state and be aware of how a healthy mental state looks like.

For students and teachers in this era of new normal, online learning has no longer been an issue as people of all ages have gotten used to using the internet to help study. Everyone as young as kindergarteners to elders uses video conference applications easily to help them meet and gather with other people and share information (school, church, meetings). Before the arrival of the new normal era, people usually spend only up to 4-5 hours on their electronic devices for various reasons as other activities such as school could be done in person. Nowadays it jumped to a staggering 8-9 hours, twice the amount of how it normally is. But due to the reason for its usage, its high-frequency usage is normalized among people from different backgrounds.
