And everyone who's anyone, of course, has an iPhone! :) They're small screens, but they're still screens.

I'm really not sure it qualifies as 'screen time' on a normal cell phone. I do think hand held games count as screen time. What about the I phone? I'm just not sure. Dr Rayne? Your opinion?

Excellent point. xo “Furthermore, they do both need to be categorized as “screen time” because of the very real impact on our human eyes, brain, and body when we sit still and stare at a screen - regardless of what is on it.”

Excellent point.

I know people who use the Internet in an extremely passive way -- solely serving as recipients of information, watching videos and checking out MySpace and treating the Internet in a way similar to the way people treat TV -- and I've also seen people use the Internet to create and explore and be extremely active. It's difficult to draw a hard line here, as -- unlike books or TV -- the Internet offers a vast range of experiences.
