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.
