    What is this propaganda? Idk about anyone else’s kids but mine do not want to be on their ipads all day. They want to fuck shit up in real life and then wind down on learning games. You sit with them, and choose the good dialog options like its KOTOR its not hard.

    No-one doubts there’s an important question to be had about screen-time with kids, but this clickbait shit from the S*n is not a meaningful contribution.

    Parents take pictures of their kids thanks to new technology that makes pictures nearly free to take. Parents use limitless access to information to help make smart decisions while raising children. No shit.

    Wtf kind of “news” article and anger baiting headline is this?

      Right? The comments show people didn’t read it. Of course people use it to look up questions, text other parents for advice and take pictures with smartphones. It very minimally talked about just straight handing the device off or streaming.

    Interestingly those people were (probably) also alive before smartphones were a thing.

    So what? In the past people had books and magazines Before that people asked relatives or their parents

    It’s just a different method of passing on the knowledge. Nothing changed with smartphones - just a different way to exchange information that can’t appear in your head by itself
