Teens can't go an hour without checking their phones

Study Finds -  Researchers found phone activity during every hour of the school day across the sample, and not one student went the entire school day without using their device. The average teen logged more than two hours of screen time during school, with social media and entertainment accounting for nearly 70 percent of that time in younger students. High schoolers picked up their phones an average of 64 times per school day, and those who checked most frequently scored worse on a standard test of focus and impulse control.
