NAGOYA. Japan (Bernama-Kyodo): The assembly of a central Japanese city on Monday passed an ordinance that recommends all residents limit their use of smartphones, video game consoles and other digital devices to two hours a day outside of work and school, though there will be no penalties.
According to Kyodo News Agency, the ordinance enacted in Toyoake in Aichi Prefecture comes amid concerns over the impact of excessive technology exposure and is believed to be the first of its kind in Japan.
