Sažetak
Nowadays, more and more electronic devices are available on the market, which are increasingly accessible to the individual, and one of them is the indispensable device, the mobile (smart) phone, without which digital natives would nowadays find it very difficult to survive. The paper is divided into two parts, the theoretical and the research-based. In the theoretical part of the paper, the emphasis is on the impact of smartphones on the individual, and the research part of the paper presents the results of the research conducted on primary school and subject teachers (N=315) in the Republic of Croatia on the use and impact of smartphones on primary school teachers and subject teachers. The results of the research indicated that primary school and subject teachers have an intermediate level of digital competencies (60.3%). On average, respondents use their smartphone for work purposes for less than one hour a day (46.7%), and for private purposes, they use it for an average of 1 to 3 hours a day (a total of 56.5%). A total of 16.8% of respondents stated that they consider themselves smartphone addicts, and 28.9% of respondents believe that they need a digital detox. During the night, a total of 28.6% of respondents leave their smartphone on, and 3.5% of respondents are woken up by notifications on the smartphone during the night.
