[quote=Anonymous]I think the big loss of this is your children's ability to be bored. When they're glued to their screens outside or in the car, they're missing just staring into space. Their nervous systems are being stimulated constantly. Each kid reacts differently to this... some are okay when the battery dies or it's time to turn off. Most have meltdowns. Heck I remember the meltdowns my brother and I had over the 1992 era gameboy or whose turn it was to play Sim City. Today's content is 1000x more stimulating. The argument that me as a child watching Days of our Lives, Saturday morning cartoons, Gilligan's Island reruns and (shhh) the early episodes of Real World or MTV Beach House is no different from my children being plugged into the constantly available stream of stimulation is disingenuous. Can the wireless router pw be secretly changed so only your devices connect to wifi and theirs mysteriously don't work for a week or so? [/quote]
