Put Your D*mn Phones Down

from BustED Pencils Hosted by Civic Media

Today on BustED Pencils, elderly Drs. Tim Slekar and Johnny Lupinacci discuss an interesting development related to the youngins using their phones too much. A pair of new laws in Virginia have banned children from using cellular telephones while in school and made it illegal for kids under 16 to use social media for more than one hour per day. Is this a good thing? Tim thinks kids should put their d*mn phones down, but Johnny isn't so sure. Who will win? You decide! It's BustED Pencils! Producer Jakob thinks that social media and cellphones are bad for kids, and that anything gained by the advent of the internet has ultimately been dwarfed by the downsides. It's the new opium, but heck I ain't gonna stop smokin' it anytime soon. Shoot, I love these little videos. They're better than having friends.
