This is much better than a typical opinion think-piece on the topic. A lot to chew on here. I haven't read the piece very carefully, but I think they do a good job critiquing the 'moral panic' aspects of the issue, but side-step dealing with the more serious and long-ranging criticisms of contemporary media culture, for example those from Neil Postman. We're really in need of a Neil Postman stand-in for these current times. I don't have children, but I plan to soon and I will be hardline against screen-time. I don't see my motivations and arguments in what these authors critique as 'panic' though. My motivations are based on massive regret about youth spent watching too much TV and particularly playing too much Call of Duty, and fondness for the parts of my childhood that were spent roaming in my grandparent's rural estate pretending to be spies, fishing, playing with stick-swords, riding bikes on dirt roads. I'm from the 'best internet generation' whose youth experienced no-internet, then dial-up, then broadband, then the mobile revolution. We can assess both times. My arguments are Postman's, and they've only gotten stronger since the Television era. Entertainment addiction has become normalized just like obesity, but it's still obvious that they're woeful sicknesses of rich Neoliberal society. Listen to the rich technocratic and media elite discuss their parenting troubles. They don't sound panicked. They sound like drug manufacturers who got hooked and remain hooked on their own supply, and now struggle to prevent their children from falling into the same trap.
