People like OP and you (and me) will get trashed by other posters who let their kids have free rein of devices so the adults can indulge their own screen addictions. And no, snatching a few min of DCUM while the kids are playing independently or after they go to bed doesn’t make me a hypocrite. When screentime is always an option for kids, they lose their desire to do anything else. |

PP is not here fishing for compliments like OP though. |

Yes it does. And I also bet it’s way more than the few minutes you pretending it is. |

| My parents were not TV-watchers and we were allowed 1 hour per day. My sister loves all TV, all the time. I have no interest in movies or TV. I read a lot. I think the way my parents did it worked well. We read a ton of books, but weren’t totally oblivious to cultural conversations around shows and movies. |

That is the meaning. I think OP meant a different word. "What does the word Luddite mean today? Modern usage Nowadays, the term "Luddite" often is used to describe someone who is opposed or resistant to new technologies." |

Historically, Luddite meant people who were so opposed to new (industrial) technologies they when around destroying them. The name they used was Ned Ludd, hence Luddite. |
