                                         Do Kids Get Too Much Screen Time?

            Kids today have far too many hours with all types of electronic devices. The internet is a very useful tool for studying, completing homework, and finding valuable information. However it is also a fantastic way to waste valuable time away. For instance, Twitter, and Facebook are used for hours a day alone by some teens, even during school on their smartphones. This combined with television, also can disrupt sleep as kids are up late at night with technology. I agree with the pediatrics group that said to limit screen time to two hours a day because it would help kids in a variety of ways.
