All of us need to play an active role in helping the youth of today in how to use technology tools appropriately. The New York Times article sparked discussions around this topic. The problem I have is that this behavior goes with digital devices and in the analog world. It should not take an article, suicide of a young person, or other tragic event to bring up the topic and react. A solid resource is Common Sense Media.

This is a short clip from Common Sense Media on their YouTube Channel. I suggest you subscribe to it.
