Sara Negrin is a high-school Senior from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sara is an active screen user but is conscious of the many different ways it affects us and our relationships. Sara and I met on an Outward Bound backpacking trip last summer and just happened to start talking one day on the trails about the topic of screen use and how we see phones affecting those around us.

Topics Covered:

Would you give up your phone for a month? Do you remember life before smartphones? What are some unspoken rules our peers have about social media? Is there a discrepancy between how much time per day you would like to spend on screens versus how much you actually end up on screens?
