Screen Addicts Anonymous

by Alyssa Wu from CA

Synopsis:

I heard Zuck built his wife a screen-free bedside alarm

Because he wanted to protect her from Tech Titans’ harm

How odd is it then that the very people who built the screens that addict 

Don’t want their own families to use what makes us sick?

Thus begins “Screen Addicts Anonymous,” 13-year-old Alyssa Wu’s poetic ode to why teens should limit screens.
