I. Introduction
Digital Wellbeing is about crafting and maintaining a healthy relationship with technology. It’s about
how technology serves us and moves us towards our goals, rather than distracting us, interrupting us
or getting in the way. Being in control of technology enables us to use its full potential and gain all the
benefits of it.
As a member of Research and Development, I was given a small project to find out if digital
technology improves life and explore the effectiveness of products. and features specifically designed
to improve health and well-being.
My topic is: "Research on the negative effects of digital technology to human health".

III. Planning
1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Figure 1. Work Breakdown Structure
1.1. Definition
Work breakdown structure is a type of project management that offers a visual way to detail
the deliverables within a project. It does so by presenting key milestones within a hierarchy
that simplifies large projects into smaller, more manageable groups.
WBS is divided into four main categories:

• Work breakdown structure by product
• Work breakdown structure in sequence
• Work breakdown structure under the responsibility
• Work breakdown structure in phases
Page | 9
1.2. Purpose
Some purposes of WBS:
• Improved planning: Large, complex projects can be difficult to wrap your head around,
let alone plan from start to finish. Using work breakdown structure helps improve
planning by making it easy to visualize the scope of the project and break it down into
more manageable milestones.
• Smarter budget and resource allocation: By improving project planning, work

breakdown structure allows for smarter budget and resource allocation. Specifically, it
ensures that all budget and time requirements get accounted for at the very beginning of
a project. Additionally, the mutually exclusive rule guarantees that no duplicate work
will take place, which eliminates wasted budget and time.
• Simplified risk identification: The visual nature of work breakdown structure makes it
easier to identify areas of risk so that you can get ahead of problems and remedy them
faster.
• Improved accountability: The clear work assignments, timelines, and budgets identified
by work breakdown structure improve accountability among team members. That’s
because everyone involved should have a clear understanding of what they are
responsible for and the time they have to complete that work.
• Enhanced visibility: Finally, work breakdown structure provides a high level of visibility
into every project. This visibility makes it easy to communicate expectations to
stakeholders and team members and track progress throughout the project.

2. Estimated time
2.1. Purpose of estimate time
Accurate time estimation is an important skill in project management. Timing is the basis for
evaluating the progress of a project, without it you won't know how long your project will take
to complete.
To be able to successfully manage a project, you need to be able to reasonably estimate time
and be able to achieve

3. Risk management
Figure 4. Risk management
3.1. Definition
Risk management is the process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the
adverse effects of risk on an organization. The adverse effects of risk can be objective or
quantifiable like insurance premiums and claims costs, or subjective and difficult to quantify
such as damage to reputation or decreased productivity. By focusing attention on risk and
committing the necessary resources to control and mitigate risk, a business will protect itself
from uncertainty, reduce costs, and increase the likelihood of business continuity and success.
3.2. Purpose
Some purposes of risk management:
• Saving resources: people, income, property, assets, time
• Protecting public image
• Protecting people from harm
• Preventing/reducing legal liability
• Protecting the environment

4. Scheduling
4.1. The purpose of scheduling

The scheduling part of the operating system has the following duties
• Process as many jobs as possible
• Make maximum use of CPU time
• Be responsive to the user so they are unaware of a delay to their process
• Make maximum use of resources such as input-output devices
• Be fair to all jobs - none left stranded for too long
• Be able to prioritise jobs
• Be able to alter priorities according to some rules built into the scheduler
• Avoid 'deadlock'
4.2. Definition of Gantt

A Gantt chart is a project management tool assisting in the planning and scheduling of projects
of all sizes, although they are particularly useful for simplifying complex projects. Project
management timelines and tasks are converted into a horizontal bar chart, showing start and
end dates, as well as dependencies, scheduling and deadlines, including how much of the task is
completed per stage and who is the task owner.

V. Secondary research
1. Definition
Secondary research or desk research is a research method that involves using already existing data.
Existing data is summarized and collated to increase the overall effectiveness of research.
Secondary research includes research material published in research reports and similar
documents. These documents can be made available by public libraries, websites, data obtained
from already filled in surveys etc. Some government and non-government agencies also store data,
that can be used for research purposes and can be retrieved from them.
Popular secondary research methods:

• Data available on the internet
• Government and nongovernment agencies
• Public libraries
• Educational Institutions
• Commercial information sources

VI. Project milestones
1. Definition
A milestone is a significant, marked progress point that appears along a project timeline. Generally
milestones signify an important change or step in the development of a project. Milestones divide
timelines into stages and are commonly found in project management software such as Xero’s
WorkflowMax.
2. Apply project milestones in the project
The project milestones have been applied and shown in figure 8 in section III.4.3
Page | 34
VII. Accuracy and reliability of research methods
1. Definition
1.1. Accuracy
Accuracy refers to the degree to which a study accurately reflects or assesses the specific
concept that the researcher is attempting to measure. While reliability is concerned with the
accuracy of the actual measuring instrument or procedure, accuracy is concerned with the
study's success at measuring what the researchers set out to measure.
1.2. Reliability
Reliability is the extent to which an experiment, test, or any measuring procedure yields the
same result on repeated trials. Without the agreement of independent observers able to
replicate research procedures, or the ability to use research tools and procedures that yield
consistent measurements, researchers would be unable to satisfactorily draw conclusions,
formulate theories, or make claims about the generalizability of their research. In addition to its
important role in research, reliability is critical for many parts of our lives, including
manufacturing, medicine, and sports.
Types of reliability:
• Equivalency Reliability
• Stability Reliability
• Internal Consistency
• Interrater Reliability
Page | 35
2. Evaluate the accuracy and reliability of different research methods applied.
➢ Primary research:
• Qualitative research:
+ The accuracy and reliability of the qualitative research method is lower than that of
the quantitative research method because qualitative research has a personal, subjective
point of view, brings individual feelings and opinions, maybe it's based on their
experiences, their behavior, their realities in life, maybe it's true in their case but it's
wrong in the case of so many others.
+ The real-world setting often makes qualitative research unreliable because of

uncontrolled factors that affect the data.
+ Due to the researcher’s primary role in analyzing and interpreting data, qualitative
research cannot be replicated. The researcher decides what is important and what is
irrelevant in data analysis, so interpretations of the same data can vary greatly.
+ Small samples are often used to gather detailed data about specific contexts. Despite
rigorous analysis procedures, it is difficult to draw generalizable conclusions because
the data may be biased and unrepresentative of the wider population.
+ In addition, the accuracy and reliability of this method is low because the data
collected from this method is difficult to statistically and create a specific analysis table.
• Quantitative research:
+ The accuracy and reliability of the quantitative research method is very high because
it collects data from a variety of opinion sources, which are majority-based, quantifiable
and statistically possible, and analyze based on collected data. Based on this method, one
can synthesize data to give an accurate overview, not the feelings or opinions of some
individuals.
Page | 36
+ Repeating the study is possible because of standardized data collection protocols and
tangible definitions of abstract concepts.
+ The study can be reproduced in other cultural settings, times or with different groups
of participants. Results can be compared statistically.
+ Data from large samples can be processed and analyzed using reliable and consistent
procedures through quantitative data analysis.
+ Using formalized and established hypothesis testing procedures means that you have
to carefully consider and report your research variables, predictions, data collection and
testing methods before coming to a conclusion.
➢ Secondary research:
+Secondary research is relatively less reliable and accurate than primary research because
secondary data sources are not regulated and may have personal bias. In addition, the
secondary study has poor reliability and accuracy because it is outdated, irrelevant and out
of value at the time of research.
+Example: A company hires journalists to write good reviews about their business.

VIII. Conclusion
In this report, I have been working on a project that investigates the negative effects of digital
technology on human health. First, I set up the goals and objectives of the project. After that, I came
up with a project management plan that included aspects of cost, scope, timing, quality,
communication, risk and resources, ... and created the work analysis structure and the Gantt Chart
to provide a timeframe and stages to completion. Finally, I conducted small-scale research using
appropriate qualitative, quantitative research methods, information gathering and data collection
to create project support knowledge and have evaluated the accuracy and reliability of the different
research methods applied.
