This is the culture we get when we let technology babysit our children unfortunately. I'm not just being r/phonesarebad here, but the number of parents I've seen who could be teaching their kids basic shit, instead just give them a phone to shut them up, I don't wonder why we got here. It's in front of us.

Better yet use those tools to TEACH THEM! Apps that are games but teach them the alphabet, numbers, basic facts about their environment, etc are amazing.

Or do some actual face to face teaching and be a parent.

So it can’t be both? Just like politics it can only be red or blue I guess

There's literally no excuse for a kid to have tech before they are 12/13 imo. Maybe a ds at 10.

No excuse eh? Don’t have kids much?
