    As teenagers we are always faced with certain distractions and time-wasters, but our cell phones, social networking places, and other technology are by far the worst. It is proven that it is more powerful for younger people because our brains are just now developing and can easily be habituated. When you are trying to do your homework and you hear your phone beep alerting you that you have a new text message, what do you do? Continue studying or rush to you phone to check this new message? If you rush to your phone, it might be time to try to set a limit on your use of technology. Quote; "The worry is we're raising a generation of kids in front of screens whose brains are going to be wired differently." - Michael Rich, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and executive director of the Center on Media and Child Health in Boston.
