Smartphones are great.
That's because this is a confusing topic.
But come on.
I'm old enough to appreciate that the thing I'm holding in my hand is a freaking miracle.
It's more powerful than anything we ever imagined.
Even Star Trek did not imagine something as powerful as a smartphone.
I'm not going to bore the audience by listing all the incredible things a smartphone can do.
Like I said, everyone on Earth pretty much has one.
We just need to be smart about how we use our smartphones, particularly if you're a teenager.
It's funny you should say that because that's one of Professor Height's recommendations for teenagers.
They should only be allowed to use flip phones, not smartphones, which, if you think about it, seems like a pretty good recommendation to me.
So maybe Star Trek did get it right.
Let's look at what Rachel Cowart, who is one of the leading researchers on the subject.
She's done excessive research on video games, and she points out that they can actually be very good for young minds.
They are effective for learning new skills, releasing endorphins and reducing stress.
Kids learned leadership, cooperation, turn taking and operating within a set of rules.
I never actually thought about this until I read one of Dr. Cowart's pieces.
But when you're a little kid playing something like chutes and ladders, if you lose, you can throw a tantrum.
And half the time your parents will say, OK, OK, you get an extra turn.
That one doesn't count.
