  I feel like everyone in these comments is lost on the fact that you can still use social media on your computer or like an iPad but that the point was to not be tied down to a smart phone every minute of every day. Everyone's acting personally offended when her intention is just to try to explain how phones have taken over our lives.

  Her children are the ones who are benefiting the most.  It was sweet to see her sitting at the table with paper and pen, while her children were eating.  They can look into her eyes and make eye contact, once again.  I feel so sorry for all these children whose parents only look at them through their smart phone camera.

  I work at a hardware store and one day, I sold an alarm clock to a young lady. She was SOO excited. I had never seen anyone in my almost 50 years of life, get as excited over a purchase for an alarm clock.

  What also helped me use my smartphone less was wearing a simple wristwatch (no smart watch!) every day. I often picked up my phone just to check the time, but then you see a new message, some new information, etc.—and before you know it, you’re stuck on your phone again. I've been wearing a cheap wristwatch for two years now and my screentime dropped drastically.

  Old person here.. I love the return to "normal" (as we still see it) by the younger generations. Great video!

  Library, use it. They also have magazines, journals and newspapers to read while in the library. Its also good to get kids to go and pick some out or utilise the resourses for them. Its generations growing up with screens in their hands, they need to understand the value of  physical literature of any kind.

  One of my favorite perks of a physical cookbook is writing notes in it. Double this ingredient, less spicy, more spicy, add these herbs, try with this meat or veggie next time. It also adds to that relationship with the recipe and makes it more your own.

  I thought about this the other day.... I used to know many phone numbers by heart. My parents', brother's, etc... now I don't know any phone number but my own....

  I'm 72 and fought getting a Smart phone.   My daughter talked me into it.  I realized how easy it is to become addicted to it. I stopped reading which I love and started scrolling.  Brain cells were dying I'm sure.  Thank you for this segment, you are very wise.  I told my Dr. 10 years ago, they are making us dumber and the next generations will be hunched over.  He agreed and he is much younger than me.  I love your content.  Hand the next generations s map and see if they can read it.  Bet not!

  Last night on “60 Minutes” in Australia  they dedicated the whole hour about Digital Dementia.  It’s affecting children even more so.
