You're in a particular socioeconomic bubble. Not a bad thing, but it does mean that your circle's norm is not necessarily the norm amongst the population at large. An example of how the other half lives (so to speak) is provided by people in restaurants who let their kid stay glued to a tablet watching YouTube or playing the Angry Birds du jour, often at blaring volume without headphones, while everybody else eats. Like TV, these tech toys provide easy, cheap babysitting.
