Ah yes, kids outside playing with friends and using their creativity to come up with things to do. That was such a dangerous time and all of us who grew up before mobile devices were everywhere are all in jail because we did stupid shit. Not to mention how unhealthy if was to be running around, biking, blading, etc out in the sun.
Yep, let's reinforce kids never getting any sun and spending all of their time living through their phones or pads and never really experiencing life in the moment.
This isn't just about the kids anymore though. Even gray hairs who grew up before we had even the motorola brick are watching entire concerts through their phone.
I'm not saying that I agree with the "state" trying to set those kind of limits. That's up to parents or other guardians. I remember when having a TV in your room was a privilege now even toddlers have iphones/pads that they scream and cry without.
