You're still speaking in extremes and failing to see the middle ground. It's another logical fallacy. You're saying that they're relying on an electronic device to manage _all_ of the daily activities. You also take it to an extreme by saying that they "might be find living alone in a box." I don't think that anyone is proposing this, so now you're attacking a strawman. Providing your kid with day-to-day love and attention isn't really related to whether or not you give them a device to help them begin to manage their lives and schedules in bite-sized pieces in a digital age doesn't constitute abuse.
