MINNEAPOLIS: As parents and veteran educators, Maree Hampton and Katherine Myers are intimately invested in the role technology plays in the lives of their families, and ours.

Long concerned that screen time is replacing activities critical to healthy youth development, Hampton and Myers co-founded Minneapolis-based LiveMore ScreenLess, which offers workshops and workplace consultations, school visits and tips to parents and grandparents, principals and CEOs.
