Cell phone shocker as 97% of kids use their device during school hours and beyond, says study
BACK TO SCHOOL: TIPS FOR HOMESCHOOLING THE KIDS AS MORE PARENTS DITCH CLASSROOMS
"The more apps we use, the more likely it is that we lose parts of ourselves, our confidence and self-esteem," said Kelman.
"People feel good and are enhanced by interactions with others, and those feelings cannot be replicated by connecting through a phone."
"Kids' brains aren’t fully developed, so they aren’t able to sniff out who is safe on the other end of the chat or the game."
Kelman warned parents that smartphone usage triggers the same dopamine release as drugs, as apps are designed to "reel kids in and keep them hooked."
"[Parents] are the ‘drug dealer’ in this analogy, so please think twice before free rein is given," she said.
"Withdrawal is common as well, so be prepared for a lot of pushback when you try to limit the use of their phones and other tech devices," Kelman warned.
The therapist's biggest rule for cracking down on daily phone usage among kids is to delay phone access for as long as possible.

If a cell phone is necessary due to schedules and after-school activities, a kid-safe starter phone like a Pinwheel could be a better alternative, Kelman suggested.

"It's a phone that lets parents manage and monitor their usage, but there is no internet and only specific, parent-approved apps that can be turned on and off at will," she said.

However, the Steam Deck needs more juice, as do some mightier laptops that can receive power via USB-C.
In terms of tablets, picking either of the two power bank options we recommend below should be a good fit for what you may have.

For more powerful laptops, there are bigger, more powerful batteries to match that can supply up to 140 W of recharging power. That’s currently a top-of-the-line spec, costing significantly more than our other options, and you’ll even need a compatible USB-C-to-USB-C cable to reach the 140 W top speed, as well as a laptop that supports the PD 3.1 USB-C charging spec.

It might be tough to justify spending $100 to $150 on a power bank just to charge a laptop.

Amazon devices are almost always going on sale, but this is an especially nice deal since it comes with a free smart plug that typically sells for about $20. It isn't the same exact model, but a similar Kasa plug is the top pick in our Best Smart Plugs guide. The Echo Dot (5th Gen) is one of our favorite Alexa speakers. You can use the included smart plug to do things like ask Alexa to turn off your box fan or turn on a lamp.
Amazon has a bunch of private-label clearance on sale for up to 55 percent off. Want D-cell batteries for $5? Here you go. How about compostable plates for $8? Giant crayons for $9? A truly hideous fanny pack for $12? The point is, there are 10 pages full of random items to choose from, and all of them are cheap.

It has the same processor that's in the new MacBook Air (our top pick for most people) and doesn't offer any major hardware upgrades except for a fan, which allows the processor to get a little warmer and eke out more power over a longer period of time. This helps if you’re working on pro-level tasks like video editing but can’t spend the premium that Apple charges for its bigger Pro models.
The Razer Blade 14 earned an 8/10, WIRED Recommends award in our review. It has a gorgeous 16:10 display, plenty of USB ports, a full-size HDMI output, and an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti, with the option to upgrade to the 40-series, giving it plenty of power to tear through the toughest games. It's the laptop WIRED reviewer Eric Ravenscraft used through Starfield's launch weekend; it has proven its worth already.

This is our favorite external keyboard in our guide to Best MacBook Accessories. It's a great option if you're a fan of the Magic Keyboard and are looking to fully replicate your MacBook setup. However, this version is fairly bare-bones—it doesn't come with a Touch ID button or the same function row keys as the M-series MacBooks (that model isn't on sale, sadly).

The Studio Display (9/10, WIRED Recommends) has a spacious 27-inch display that's perfect for juggling multiple apps at the same time and a 5K resolution that's stunningly sharp (there's no HDR though, so colors look slightly more contrasty and saturated compared to the neutral tones on Apple's Pro Display XDR).
