Panel 1
Alex and Sam are sitting in a tech café, sipping coffee. Alex looks excitedly at Sam.
Alex: Did you hear? Snapchat’s CEO is talking about adding time limits for teens!
Sam: Oh, great. More tech solutions that might actually work.
Panel 2
Robin bursts into the café, holding a smartphone and looking frazzled.
Robin: Guys, I’ve been on Snapchat for 14 hours straight and I’m still hooked!
Alex: Robin, that’s dedication!
Sam: Maybe we should start with limits for Robin first.
Panel 3
Alex and Sam are now looking at Robin, who is scrolling through Snapchat, still looking lost.
Alex: Maybe if Snapchat enforces it, we’ll all have to take a break!
Sam: Or maybe we’ll just find another app to get addicted to.
Robin: Nah, I’m good as long as my notifications keep buzzing.
