Ah! Where Are We Going With Mobile Phones?

From NYTimes Sunday Review, March 4, 2018, pg. 7

"Media habits are shifting fast: The amount of time children 8 years old and younger spend on phones or tablets has increased tenfold in just five years, according to a 2017 study by Common Sense. The organization also found that 42 percent of children under 8 already have their own mobile device. That number was less than 1 percent in 2011."
