Must not be the same Taiwan I live in. When I go out to eat I constantly see mom, dad, and kid all zonked on their own devices (usually a phone, granted, not an iPad) instead of having a meal "together." I've also seen plenty of meltdown tantrums. If I had to square your observation, I'd say it's just because there are fewer kids, period, than almost anywhere because people aren't having them.
- jaapz 2y agoI love threads like this One person going "X doesn't happen in Y" is almost always followed by someone saying the exact opposite, solidifying the fact that we all live in our own bubbles, often experiencing the same things in completely different ways Kind of reminds me of when you buy a certain car, you are suddenly primed to see that same car model everywhere, while before you weren't aware of them at all.

- ChrisGreenHeur 2y agoAn anecdote is exactly one data. You cannot extrapolate on one data point.
- isametry 2y ago> exactly one data Datum :)
- Der_Einzige 2y agoIpAdapter among many other ML projects proved that you can indeed extrapolate on one data point. Why say lies on the internet so confidently?
- watwut 2y agoFrankly a lot of people go by what they see in media rather then reality. People who belive a country X have only well behaved toddlers especially.
- audunw 2y agoYeah, I’m also in serious doubt about this. At least for Taipei (could be regional differences)? I don’t live in Taiwan, but visit often. Last time we had dinner with another family and the kids got iPads/phones immediately.
