As the thread title says and the actual title asks, "iGen" teens use of smartphones, is affecting them in very negative ways.
It is probably fair to say that the rest of are not unaffected but hopefully not to the extent mentioned in the article, but we can surely recognise some of the "symptoms" described.
So what about kids you know, your own, or those in your extended family? Is it indeed a global problem? How affected are other generations by them?
