I'm Mayra Anubi, and you might want to pay close attention today because I'll be talking about something that you might be using right now.
Your smartphone.
But do we use our phones too much?

Today we'll hear about one idea that's encouraging people to use them less and find out about a movement that's getting parents to delay buying these devices for their children.
My daughter Zani had her 9th birthday recently, and shortly before the big day, she reminded me that I had apparently promised to buy her a certain special gift.

15.
Who said get you an I?
Daddy?
Did you say you're getting an iPhone?
No.
You said you me.
Nelly.
Ever.
It's because she said she'll get me an iPhone 15.
And the reason I really want to own is because it's like my own mini world.
