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

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.
