It's depressing that a kid plays on a tablet?

I'm not directly attacking you. It depresses me that, and its undeniable, there are some literal toddlers that are glued to the damn things.

I have put a lot of thinking about what I would do about technology if I were a parent. I think I settled on allowing them to have a phone or tablet and heavily restricting them to limit the addictiveness.

I'm 29.

Im well aware that tv was used on us for the exact same thing, and don't get me wrong I bet that moment of silence as a parent is bliss.

I dunno...the tablets seem far more addictive though.
