“According to Common Sense Media’s research, teens ages 13–18 spend about nine hours daily on entertainment media, and for tweens ages 8–12, the average screen time is about six hours. For the adults in their lives, it isn’t much different, with parents’ averaging just under 9½ hours of screen time daily. The challenge I call you to is this: Pause for people. What do I mean by pause for people? I mean when you’re IRL (in real life) and someone is talking to you, pause what you’re doing and privilege that human standing in front of you over what’s on your screen.
I am no tech hater. I strongly believe that technology does help us connect with people in meaningful ways, and it should be used for powerful learning in the classroom. But even with all that potential, the face-to-face interactions that you could be having, you should be having. Starting now.” ~Liz Cline, VP @ Common Sense Media
