TEENTECH Forum

Thomson@2005: I always read about teens and how much time they spend on their electronic devices. Is it a good idea for teens to have a lot of electronic devices? What do you think?

Dan@14: Of course it is! Having a device like a smartphone is a great way for me to contact friends and family members especially the ones I don't see very often. I share photos and send them text messages on a messaging app all the time. I also use my laptop and my tablet to do research and improve my computer skills.

Harrison@008: Electronic devices can have some negative effects on teens. I had a tablet, a smartphone and a games console. I spent too much time playing video games and going on social media. My parents said it would reduce my attention span and make me lack social skills. My doctor told me I was gaining weight, too. Now, I just have a smartphone and I only use it after I finish my homework. I'm glad I stopped wasting so much time on electronic devices.
