Phones influence all aspects of teenage life. Ninety-five percent of Americans ages 13 to 17 have a smartphone or have access to one, and nearly half report using the internet "almost ___26___ ."
But as recent survey data and interviews have suggested, many teens find much of that time to be unsatisfyingly spent. Continuous ___27___ shouldn't be mistaken for endless enjoyment. A new ___28___ representative survey about "screen time and device distractions" from the Pew Research Center indicates that it's not just parents who think teenagers are worryingly ___29___ from their phones-many teens themselves do too. Fifty-four percent of the 13-to-17-year-olds surveyed said they spend too much time ___30___ in their phones.
Vicky Rideout, who runs a research firm that studies children's interactions with media and technology, was not surprised by this finding. She says it's hardly ___31___ to teenagers. "They are dealing with the same challenges that adults are, as far as they are living in the ___32___ of a tech environment designed to suck as much of their time onto their devices as possible," Rideout says.
The way parents interact with technology can ___33___ the way they interact with their kids. Rideout thus thinks it's up to parents to model good ___34___: Kids tend to take note if their parents put their phone away at dinner or charge it in another room while they sleep. Witnessing habits like that can help kids "realize that they can ___35___ some more control over their devices," she says.
