While many parents have been worried that increased screen time and app use could be harmful to their kids; there have been no large scale scientific studies that could prove whether or not that is true. But now, there is a push in Congress to make that happen.

16th District Ohio Republican Congressman, Anthony Gonzalez is co-sponsoring a bill aimed at understanding the effect of technology on children.
