I’ve seen parents pushing toddlers around strapped into a stroller with a tablet mounted on an arm right at the kid’s eye level. Even if the kid wanted to stop looking at the tablet, they’d have a hard time. They’re basically Ludovico Technique-ing their own kids.
I grew up in the '70s. My parents limited us to one hour of TV per day, but I had friends who spent nearly every waking hour when they weren’t in school parked in front of the television. Like, six to seven hours per day and more on the weekends. The stats back that up, too.
yeah, but those of us who grew up on tv didn’t have ubiquitous access to screens either.
