It seems to be a great look into the the effects of technology. In the new digital age we live in, teens are growing up slower than previous generations (look it up-the research doesn't lie) What are our phones doing to our minds? Our social skills? Our ability to learn? This documentary uses research, science and raw life example to explore the answers to these questions.
... Teens' use their phones like a child may use a baby blanket: they take it everywhere, bring it out when things get uncomfortable, and even sleep with it.
