How Have Smart Phones Destroyed Our Generation

In the article,“Have smart phones destroyed our generation?” I completely agree with the ideas and facts stated in the article. Teens are on their phones way too much, even me. I am on my phone more than half the day. However it does not get in the way of my social life. Although some teens are so addicted and consumed in their phones that they stopped hanging out with their friends and family. For example, one person in the article did not get his license until months after he was 18 so he could be on his phone and his mom could drive him everywhere he needed to go. Smartphones have also affected teens sleep. Teens should get at least eight hours of sleep every night, but it has been proven that teen that get on their phones before bed do
not sleep as long or good. Teens that get less than six hours of sleep are sleep deprived. Some teens will come home from school and just be on their phones in their rooms alone until they go to sleep. However, teens that do activities after school are proven to be happier because they are socializing and being with people, not looking at screens. Meaning, most teens are unhappy because most teenagers do not do anything activities after school and then are looking at screens for hours on hours. Also teens probably do not get their school work done due to smart phones. Personally I believe parents should take phones or teens should turn off their from for a few hours everyday so they can spend time with their friends or family and do their school work. The article also states that a toddler or young kid was obsessed with their ipad and would spend hours watching shows. Showing, little kids should not start young looking at screens.
