Waaay before that it was, um, books. Kids who read books instead of playing outside were weird. The age of the 10c pulp magazine, science fiction, westerns, crime stories, they were everywhere. And parents lamented the time spent reading them instead of doing something outside. Just wait until our kids grow up, and their kids have a VR headset strapped to their face 24x7. They'll bemoan the time lost that was watching youtube. As an aside, in my day it was TV, and today my kids aren't interested in TV. Not sure my parents see the irony ;)
