Some days definitely have more tension than others, but ultimately, it makes us realize how we have taken for granted the amazing qualities of our close family members that we do not always notice since we are so often distracted by our school or work life. During these times, we also dedicate at least an hour every day to FaceTime and play games online our relatives who live in other countries that we may not keep in touch with every single day otherwise. It gives me something to look forward to every day.

In these times of isolation we need activities to distract us because keeping busy or even picking up an old hobby is beneficial to our mental health. These activities lessen the burden of feeling stuck in isolation. For that reason, even though I don't particularly like homework, I am grateful for having it since it has kept me busy throughout quarantine. I am glad that I haven't felt bored very often during this time.

We know that the constant clicking and tapping away on our devices is not beneficial to our mental health, yet many of us refuse to change our actions in spite of this. These behaviors emulate an addiction. Mon, 09 Mar 2020 13:30:27 -0400 I agree that we cannot completely cut out technology from children's lives. Instead, we should be focusing on ways for children to integrate safety precautions and positive learning experiences into their technology use. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1633286 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1633286 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 00:04:19 -0400 I believe that phones can have a place in the classroom if they are not distracting from the learning experience. They can be used as fun tools to promote learning if used responsibly. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632619 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632619 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 13:47:35 -0500 Since the constant use of phones can deteriorate mental health for growing children and adolescents, I agree with this movement to create limits and control regarding phone use among kids. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632605 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632605 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 13:44:50 -0500 We live in a society that is very dependent on our phones which may isolate us, and reduce our cognitive function, so there are also health implications to our phone use. https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632593 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632593 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 13:40:50 -0500 I feel that banning phones entirely is problematic, as phones can be beneficial in classrooms at times. I believe schools should have designated times to use phones, but I don't believe they should be taken away from the students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632582 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632582 Mon, 07 Aug 2023 23:05:02 -0400 Features such as a customizable lock screen or voice assistant, adds to the intrigue of phones that keeps us hooked. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1632563 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1632563 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 13:29:22 -0500 This rush of dopamine results in an endless cycle of checking different areas on our phone to get that same feeling. This makes it extremely difficult to get off our phones once we have got on them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631851 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631851
