Gentile's definition of "addiction to video games and internet use" primarily focuses on the problems a user's screen time is causing in their life. This perspective emphasizes the negative impacts and consequences that excessive screen time can have on an individual's daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being rather than solely measuring the quantity of time spent in front of a screen.
