[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] SK Telecom announced on the 6th that it will distribute a guidebook on 'Proper Use of Digital Media' for infants and young children in collaboration with the Bareun ICT Research Institute.

The guidebook is available for free on the Bareun ICT Research Institute's website. It is designed in a graphic format to help easily understand media usage methods that consider important developmental stages during growth for infants under 36 months and young children aged 3 and above.

Previously, SK Telecom and the Bareun ICT Research Institute produced and broadcast video content to raise awareness about the risks of smartphone addiction and promote proper smartphone usage habits, featuring the popular EBS program for children, "Choegoda! Hogisumddakji".

Based on the ICT columns serialized on SK Telecom's official blog since June last year, the Bareun ICT Research Institute will also publish a book titled "Contacting Proper ICT in the Untact Era".

The book contains various cases where ICT has induced positive behavioral changes in daily life, such as "Can digital aids help succeed in quitting smoking?" and "Can AI (Artificial Intelligence) be a solution for depression in the mind?".

Song Gwang-hyun, head of SK Telecom's PR2 Office, explained, "With the COVID-19 pandemic making untact lifestyles commonplace and digital media usage increasing significantly, we have prepared various contents to interestingly inform customers about proper ICT usage in this environment."

Meanwhile, the Bareun ICT Research Institute is a specialized research organization established in 2015 by SK Telecom and Yonsei University to propose development directions for building a healthy ICT culture.
