A Kent State University study of 500 undergraduate students found there was a negative relationship between frequent cell phone use and grades, as well as lower life satisfaction, increased anxiety, and poor physical health.

Expert brain scientist and leading professor, Dr. Brynn Winegard, strongly believes that technology overuse has led to a growing number of tired, frazzled, and distracted students in school. "Learning is challenging," she says. "You have to be ever-present for it. Students need to come prepared to be in the moment, to be mindful, to expend energy.

Nearly three-quarters of teens believe that tech companies are manipulating users to spend more time glued to their devices.

More than half of social media users say it distracts them from doing homework or paying attention to the people they’re with.

Almost 90 percent of American teens now have their own smartphones, and some 70 percent use social media multiple times per day. But as social networking services are increasingly criticized for being too addictive — and many are now building tools to limit their usage to “time well spent”

A study shows that students that get higher scores on tests when there is a phone ban.
