I don't think having a deeply engrained reflex to open youtube or tiktok or whatever the nanosecond you're start loosing attention on whatever you are currently doing will enrich peoples lives. Sure, some will use the tools productively. But most will fall victim to the most effective pleasure industry mankind has come up with so far.
- joshuahughes 7y agoThis totally nails it. My wife and I very carefully control our kids' (13 and 14) screen hours to make sure they're engaging with real people in the real world and not thoughtlessly pulling out a phone every two minutes. But even with restrictions, they manage about an hour of screen time a day, and they're still superbly capable at handling whatever device they happen to be using. They're in no way disadvantaged from a 'computer skills' POV.
