I grew up glued to screens since I was 11. My parents hated it, but my hobby became my career and I became a confident and social individual despite my constant interest in computers. Now, I serve dinner in front of a movie/TV sometimes, and don't police my kids' phone usage at the table. I do police other behavior, and checking out in the presence of others isn't acceptable. They try to become little addicts (they're young) but the pressure to engage locally wins often enough. If there's nothing to talk about, I don't mind if they get online. It generally takes all day to exhaust our conversations like that, though.
