Parents, researchers and educators have been asking whether the spread of mobile devices and Internet access, for all their benefits, can have negative side effects for young people, interfering with homework or leading to cyberbullying. Now the government is asking the same question. The Federal Communications Commission announced this week that it plans to hold a forum on Tuesday at a high school in Washington to address risks associated with heavy technology use among young people. The forum will include panels and conversations with experts about how parents can help young people find balance in their digital diets.
