Write in which you make an argument about the effects smartphones (and/or social media) are having on young people's lives. Are these devices ultimately more harmful than beneficial or vice versa? Does it depend on how they are used? To what extent do you agree with Twenge's claim? Use specific examples from your own experiences and/or reading to support your argument.

Your thesis statement should make a clear argument and respond to the above prompt. Make a strong claim that reflects your viewpoint (without using the word "I") and that you can support in your body paragraphs. Do not simply state facts in the thesis!
