I went into a cafeteria the other day in Loudoun county at the high school. There was. And there are 600 kids in there, and they're all having conversations. None of them are looking at their lap. Our kids spend 5.5 hours a day on cell phones. And what the parents said when I asked them is they said the kids are coming home now. They're not using the cell phones in the car, and they're having dinner with their families, and they're talking to them. (36:43–36:48)
