I found this article very provocative and worthy of discussion and debate. As a father of a 9 and a 5 year old, I am concerned about their social media and phone access. As an educator who has taught and managed young adults for many years, I have seen the negative social effects of constant internet, phone, and social media use. However, you all are the generation the author is examining in this article. I am most interested in what you think about his description of the negative mental and social effects of phone use.
