So your child will accelerate through language development thanks to this device. At some point, they will discover the endless rabbit holes including, but not limited to, pornography, technology, philosophy, gaming, and politics. Their comprehension in all these areas will see similar advances. But then what? What will happen when they need to spend time with themselves? How will they relate to other people? What happens when novel information is no longer novel? Will drugs help? How will they cope with the stresses of life? This is a slippery slope. We are only now seeing how total the consequences to what it means to be a social people.

Little kids have been bookworms since the invention of books. Somehow access to libraries didn't turn people into en-masse drug abusers, unless coffee counts. Children are quite robust.

Given normal circumstance(no mental illness etc), kids get bored by those devices too, as with information and learning. They adapt and learn how to use the tools to meet their will. I think the magic ingrediences here is love, hugs, attention (when they seek it) and time is what truly matters. That will guide down the slippery slope they will take regardless. If the kids want to play, learn from it and can let it go without having problem with it, it should ok. Anyway it's something they need to learn since most things in life will be tied to electronic devices.
