“Inside, just a short time before, that hand had rolled off a 3D printer that built it overnight... The prosthetic that had just made such a task immediately easy represents a breakthrough in small, lightweight hands. They are easy for children to use.

One study found that young people send an average of 34 texts a night after they get into bed! This loss of sleep can affect the ability to concentrate, problem-solve, and learn."

"How could they look so happy? Then I thought . . . Maybe it’s because they don’t have all that modern technology. They aren’t subjected to the black hole of endless information."
