Common
Sense Media
Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and
families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and
independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and
technology.
We exist because our nation's children spend more time with media and digital activities than they do with their families or in school, which profoundly impacts their social, emotional, and physical development. As a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, we provide trustworthy information and tools, as well as an independent forum, so that families can have a choice and a voice about the media they consume.

computer games, game consoles, cell phones, text messaging,
webcams).
