  • "GMA" challenged 10 girls aged 13 and 14 to give up all social media for a week--they responded positively and maybe actually slept better.

    As a non social media user, it’s hysterical for parents to pretend they don’t have the exact same problem their kids do.

      Both were exclusively for gaming as far as I knew. But its voice chat so you could use it for anything but it does have text like all anything sense the 1990s.
      Discord took over because it was mobile accessible at launch which real gamers gamers thing is a fucking joke and also allows to be accessed on a website instead by program. A web browser takes up more processing than a single propose program.
      Discord is not a Forum replacement so whenever I see a fucking guild or some shit have its rules in discord it feels and looks like a chat room with random rooms and random subjects that I have to jump around to find the important pined rule that they want me to read because they don't know how to put everything in the same area.
      Plus they are getting used to Facebook/twitter wording so they can fuck over anyone they want with vague wording.

    I don’t understand why kids would be on their phones with Snapchat,Twitter,and instagram. And they are so focused on it. And that they don’t care about anything else only they’re phone.

    In 2007, Gates, the former CEO of Microsoft, implemented a
    cap on screen time when his daughter started developing an unhealthy
    attachment to a video game. He also didn't let his kids get cell phones
    until they turned 14. And that's when they were way less advanced even than they are today. (Today, the average age for a child getting their first phone is 10.)
    Jobs, who was the CEO of Apple until his death in 2012, revealed in a 2011 New York Times interview that he prohibited his kids from using the newly-released iPad. "We
    limit how much technology our kids use at home," Jobs told reporter Nick
    Bilton. Tim Cook, who doesn't have kids, but does have a nephew has very strict rules on usage. It's because they know what the research is regarding addiction and the child's brain...a brain isn't fully developed until a kid's early to mid-20's. Take the phones/screens away and make them pick up a book or hobby like cooking or art or music or playing board games or watching PBS. Kids are scientifically becoming dumber bc of too much screen time and suicide outpaces homicides in teens now...WT*.
    Research has found that an eighth-grader's risk for depression jumps 27%
    when he or she frequently uses social media. Kids who use their phones
    for at least three hours a day are much more likely to be suicidal. And
    recent research has found the teen suicide rate in the US now eclipses the homicide rate, with smartphones as the driving force.

    I use my phone to help keep the suicidal thoughts away, and my only friends are on the internet because that’s the only place where people have actively shown that my existence matter, if my phone was taken away for 2 weeks (without me knowing) I wouldn’t have even survived. Perhaps you should ask for a reason why we’re always on our phones. This phone is why i haven’t died yet. If I haven’t got a phone I wouldn’t have realized that i shouldn’t kill myself, this is why I’m constantly on my phone, as an ex ape from all my problems and issues

    these parents are "concerned about their kids on their phones too much and telling them to get off from them".....WHO BOUGHT THEM THE PHONES? WHO PAYS THE PHONE BILL EVERY MONTH? You are the parent you did this!!!! You are the one to guide them and are in charge of them... YOU DO NOT COWER TO YOUR CHILDREN.... If you tell them to get off their phone and they don't do it... TAKE THE PHONE AWAY... I truly don't understand how so many "parents" raise their children now. SPEND TIME WITH YOUR KIDS!!!! You tell them they are smart, pretty, handsome, capable... YOU show them the REAL world not this fabricated one they are choosing to believe.

    They all sound more articulate after the detox. It really is hypocritical of the media to recommend the detox. It seems as if every reporter/personality on GMA has all the platforms covered and encourages their viewers to follow them. We do seem to have an awful lot of people who don't know how to hold a conversation. Sadly i know too many adults who scroll through their phones while out for dinner with family and friends who pester people for pictures and responses when they're not together.
