Screenagers (2016)
Young people spend an average of 6.5 hours a day on cell phones, computers and other devices. That doesn't include the time they use screens for school and homework. 'Screenagers: How Much Screen Time is Healthy?' is a documentary that explores how much screen time is too much. It delves deep into the science behind screen time to understand how it affects young people's minds and development and explores how learning, playing and socializing online affects teens' developing attention span, fragile self-esteem and moral instincts. It also offers solutions to handle screen time and provides parents with tools to help young people develop self-control and find balance in their digital lives.
