Nellie, show us a strong arguments which scientific, statistics and testimonial evidence. The scientific argument seems through a studies that made by psychologist like Richard freed, he wrote a book about dangers of screen time for people especially for children, he argued that it is very hard to make chicken reconnect to real world.

It seems clearly that the writer was expecting that rich kids will be using screens more than poor kids. Nillie thinks that high class will be using screens because private schools ask students to make online research and make their homework online as well. But the statistics number s that the writer mentioned in this article show us that poor kids zre using screens more that rich kids. Dr, freed “argues divide every day as he meets tech-addicted children of middle and low-income families “.

To conclude, I think that we have to think again about the uses of the screen in our life and we must make some solutions to make our children use these multiple screens under control of parents. And I agree with Kristen Boan, the program START all of us should stand together and rethink technology.
