Our children are our future. I have cringed when I see teen-aged kids running around with the latest smartphone all the time. I don't know, I don't have any kids, but letting the screens raise our kids worries me.
But the problem is, 'every bodies got one mom/dad!' That crap didn't fly with me cow-pie when I was young, but hey. The times are definitely a-changing. My folks taught me in person how to read. They read to me at night and I learned how to read along. I knew the alphabet before I hit school at all. But I've seen my niece have the screen ready at all times to teach her kids everything.
And now a days, they teach all kinds of things as fact in schools, like humans are the cause of climate change, not to mention the CRT programs, etc., etc.
I believe we now are seeing the results of that.
