Tell us about your digital media habits. How much time (and money) do you spend texting? Do you recognize yourself at all in these teens’ stories? Do you often switch between doing homework and things like checking Facebook, watching videos or playing games? Do you find it hard to focus on and process your schoolwork? Are your grades affected? Do you – or your parents – try to set limits on your use of technology?
- I think i spend a lot of my time texting and sometimes its hard to focus on other things. Thats one reason why i think is really a bad idea to ext and drive. I definitely can recognize myself in some of the een stories, kids whose lives revolve around texting and cant seem to find any thing to keep them from texting. Sometimes while doing homework i usually take breaks to get on Facebook, or to do other things that will not help me finish my initial goal. It is definitely harder to finish homework when im distracted and i find myself spending unnecessary time on 5 min assignments. My grades are definitely affected most of the time when i dont finish assignments
