About half of teens in the U.S. and Japan admit they’re addicted to their phones, according to a new study from the University of Southern California. The study looked at teens’ phone use in both countries, and their parents’, to see how phones “are changing the way we engage not only with the world around us, but also with the people who are the closest to us.” In both countries, teens said their phones are the greatest source of conflict between them and their parents. But their parents are far from blameless—over one-third of Japanese parents and about a quarter of American parents are also addicted. (VOA News)
