I've never once looked at a study, nor could I possibly care less what some numbers on a paper say when I've got evidence in front of my own eyes. I'm speaking from experience, kids today are smooth-brained idiots that don't understand how to do some of the most basic things in life, nor do they have any desire to learn.

This is not some "Oh, curse these wretched novels, polluting the minds of our children with fiction!" This is the recognition that we have released a technology with an addiction cycle that has been intentionally built and tweaked to engage users and keep them on their platform as long as possible, and the human brain is not evolutionarily equipped to deal with that, least of all the developing mind of a child. They have neither the self-control nor the awareness of what's going on to determine that they're feeding an addiction that their parents enabled. Getting Entertainment Boxes™ out of places of education is a great first step in that direction.
