Letting your kid stare at an iPad for 3 hours at a wedding is damaging their brains? This is a bold claim and requires evidence. The article is talking about daily screen time, not the occasional one-off.

It's why their parents give them the devices to begin with—it's work to train them initially, and there's some unpleasantness and inconvenience involved, and giving them your phone works immediately—and why they have to keep giving them to them even when they're older.

My kids are much more disruptive at adult social events than their iPad-addled peers, but 100x better-behaved than those kids would be if you took away their iPads. Sadly, the expected standard of behavior is tending towards the iPad zombies, it's mostly the older generation who sees my kids' petty transgressions as "kids being kids."
