WHAT IS BETTER SCREEN TIME?
We’re the family who kept their TV in the closet for over a decade; pulling it out only for the Olympics and family movie nights.

A lot had changed between 2005 and 2017.
Technology had evolved and morphed into MUCH more than television. We now carried mini-computers in our pockets. And we had a teenager.
