    C. Excessive Internet and video game usage hasn't been defined as an addiction in an official capacity, but it negatively impacts the lives of those who experience it.

    F. Our society's dependency on devices makes it difficult to change one's relationship with technology, but health and technology professionals are exploring solutions

    Explanation:

    The book, 'Screen addiction among teens: is there such a thing?', by Anya Karnenetz analyzes the problem of screen addiction which has become a cause for concern in the world today. The book first tries to pin down a description to the act, but recognizes that scientists, especially those in the United States as well as other official bodies, do not yet subscribe to the use of the word, 'addiction', in the description of the act. The lighter word, 'habit', according to them is preferable. They however note that this habit has some negative impacts on the teens, such as limiting social interactions.

    The book also noted that the society has become very much dependent on technology. However, some technology experts are exploring solutions. One of such solutions, is the Onward application developed by Gabe Zichermann.
