[quote=Anonymous]Not saying it’s ideal, but unless you/they go truly off grid, our children’s lives will be fully integrated with screens in a way we can barely imagine. Like total convergence of cyber and physical. It will be their language, means of relating to friends, working, consuming, learning, and (Judge Dredd spoiler alert) having sex. I hate it, but really, it’s a futile effort. And especially in this particular moment when so many other options have been cut off.

We restrict our kids screen time. So I’m not crazy, I fight the same futile battle. Then I compare my screen time to theirs and it’s not even close (and that’s even setting aside the screen time I do professionally.) Screens are great.

Not sure why I’m posting this… maybe just, don’t beat yourself up over it. Or them either for wanting screens. It is what it is. It wasn’t all that long ago in historical terms when there were significant objections to reading (memory would suffer, people would forget how to speak and organize thoughts, people would become isolated in made up tales of storytellers, etc.).[/quote]
