Today, American adults spend the equivalent of 49 days a year on
their phone and tablets. For six months, Sawyer and her team
traveled across the country talking to families, teachers, doctors
and even tech insiders to pursue questions, answers and solutions.
From coast to coast, a question: People love the wonders of
technology, but have they become too consumed with the little
screens in their pockets?

After sending out a call to families across America, Sawyer and the
team received messages from parents including a mom from the Midwest
who said she felt so disconnected from her kids who were always on
screens. ABC News brought in cameras and documented her family's use
of social media throughout a weekend, and therapists from the
renowned Gottman Institute guided the family toward change.

The report highlights experiments including one showing the
potential impact on babies and toddlers when parents are on their
screens for only two minutes; actors posing as job candidates who
are distracted by their phones, and how this behavior creates
distrust in hiring managers; and college students feeling pressure
to retouch and edit photos for social media in an endless quest for
likes and comments, and its effect on self-esteem.

As games like Fortnite and Overwatch explode in popularity, the
average teen gamer now spends almost 12 hours a week playing video
games. How do parents know that their kids are in trouble? The
special reviews the latest research and interviews top experts to
help guide parents through this highly charged minefield.

Studies have found that students do better when phones are not a
distraction in the classroom. ABC News visits schools across the
country to report on the variety of solutions that help students
learn without the distraction of technology.

70% of teens use social media multiple times a day. The report shows
new research that suggests there can be a hidden psychological toll
from this selfie habit.

The special talks to experts who say tech companies design
habit-forming apps to encourage users to stay on the screen and
interviews experts about online privacy, and the buying, sharing and
selling of personal data.

Apple CEO Tim Cook sits down with Sawyer to talk about a range of
topics, addressing families' concerns about screens, and what he
calls a crisis in online privacy.

The ABC News team searches for practical solutions for families.

Enjoy!
