imagine being on a deserted island with no technology in
00:04 - 00:06
sight. All you have to stay entertained is your mind.
00:07 - 00:09
Okay, Okay, that's a bit extreme.
00:09 - 00:11
But seriously, what would you do without technology?
00:12 - 00:14
I mean, technology is great and it could be used
00:15 - 00:19
for so many different things, Like learning the Internet is
00:19 - 00:21
like a big, invisible brain that knows practically everything.
00:22 - 00:24
And while not all information on the Internet is true,
00:24 - 00:26
there are very reliable sources out there.
00:28 - 00:31
There's also communication, whether it's to face time, your grandma
00:31 - 00:34
or text your best friend Technology makes it all possible.
00:36 - 00:39
Lastly, there's entertainment from video games like Fortnight and among
00:39 - 00:42
us to movies, TV shows in YouTube, videos that you
00:43 - 00:43
all love.
00:43 - 00:48
Technology has so much to offer, but it could also
00:49 - 00:49
be harmful.
00:50 - 00:52
Too much technology can hurt your performance in school.
00:53 - 00:56
Make it hard to be creative, hurt your physical health
00:56 - 00:58
and even your real life relationships, too.
01:04 - 01:06
So you might be asking yourself how much is too
01:06 - 01:09
much? Well, studies show kids your age should have no
01:09 - 01:11
more than two hours of screen time a day.
01:12 - 01:14
Remember, moderation is the key to a healthy technology used
01:16 - 01:17
so What now?
01:17 - 01:19
I want you guys to take a moment to think
01:19 - 01:22
about a few things you can dio while taking a
01:22 - 01:23
break from screen time.
01:24 - 01:28
What fun activities outside or at your house?
01:28 - 01:30
Or with your friends you can do instead of using
01:31 - 01:37
technology. Personally, I like to take a break from technology
01:38 - 01:41
by going outside or doing crafts, reading a book or
01:42 - 01:43
even playing with my friends.
01:44 - 01:46
