Dear Editor,
Re: “Can’t Sleep, Must Tweet: Limiting Screen Time” (The Mount Observer Opinion: February 6, 2019, Volume 13 Issue 3)
As a student, employee, and mom, I found this article very interesting and helpful. I agree strongly with everything that was stated in the article. Screen time does affect people in many ways. As stated by the reporter, it disconnects people from the real world. There have been times where I would be piled up with homework and instead of focusing on that, I would use my phone instead. I learned about the screen time app on the iPhones from reading this article.
I took that into consideration and looked into the app a little more, and honestly, I was a little disappointed in myself. I use social media way too much and instead of focusing on what’s important, I use my phone to distract my mind. I have a bad habit where once I wake up before even getting out of bed, I go straight onto social media. After reading this article, it made me realize that I need to limit my screen time and focus more on what is important rather than focusing on what everyone else is doing. Thank you for publishing this article and encouraging MWCC students like myself to challenge themselves to cut down on screen time.
Sincerely,
Marielisa Rodriguez, MWCC Student
