The talk was about the responsibilities and dangers that come with having WMDs, or wireless mobile devices. It is important to be aware of how you use your devices and to purchase them as a tool rather than as a form of entertainment.

★★★★★

Very informative; made me realize I need to put my own devices down. The quote that stuck with me the most was when Dr. Gupta said that when she is asked how much screen time is appropriate for middle schoolers, she doesn't give a number, but asks "What could be done with that time instead?"

The session provides valuable insights into the way people live today and their relationship with their WMDs. I would also say that it teaches valuable lessons on what to do to make WMDs a tool.

We learned about how WMD and social media affect the youth and how to use phones as tools/resources—not to escape from reality or cure boredom.
