Student Bio:
My name is Truman Parsons, I was born and raised in Panama City Beach, FL. I am passionate about exploring the intersection of technology, health, science, and business. I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering or business with plans to attend law school. My career aspirations include starting as a prosecutor and ultimately working up to a position at a private law firm. Outside of academics, I enjoy fishing, spearfishing, playing football, working out, golfing, and spending time with friends. I thrive on challenges and aim to combine my technical background with legal expertise to make a meaningful impact on the future of America.

Poster Title: Technology and Its Affects on Teenagers (ages 13-17)
Abstract:
Our research project explores the numerous ways technology impacts teenagers aged 13 to 17 through three key lenses: ethics, science, and future implications. The ethical lens examines whether it is appropriate for teenagers to use technology and social media, focusing on privacy, online behavior, and mental well-being. The scientific lens investigates the neurological and psychological effects of technology usage, including cognitive development and social interactions. The futuristic lens considers the long-term consequences of technological exposure on teenagers, such as career prospects, social dynamics, and mental health trends. All in all, these perspectives provide a comprehensive understanding of technology's growing influence on the next generation.
