Description

The essay is about how smartphones and technology is effecting teenagers today and wether they have more benefits or consequences. The side that I am arguing is that they have more benefits for teenagers that outway the consequences. It needs a counterclaim as well. The first paragraph is written but needs to be revised. I attached links to some sources that could be used but you may need more to argue the side I am arguing.
