Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Neil.

And I'm Sam.

They used to tell me that watching too much TV would turn my eye square.

But they were only joking.

When I was growing up, there were only three or four television channels.

For parents today, there are hundreds of TV channels to worry about,

not to mention the internet, video games and social media.

And all of it is accessible through a smartphone.

which finds little evidence to link technology with mental health problems in adolescence.

That's young people who are in the process of developing from children into adults.

I'm not convinced, Sam.

Think about how much time youngsters spend staring at screens every day.

True, but unlike passively watching television,

today's technology is interactive, connecting teenagers to their friends around the world.

Well, maybe my quiz question will change your mind.

Are you ready?
