    So giving phones to kids and not parenting them enough to ensure they learn how to interact with people IRL is bad?

    I thought we had kinda already come to that conclusion some years ago tbh

      Unfortunately it is very difficult to be good parents when both parents have to stay out over 10 hrs per day to work. This is the part that is always overlooked in these news. Problem is not the smartphones. It’s modern society

        Really good point tbh, and really just adds to my point, not just bad parenting through negligence, but also an unfortunate lack of presence from otherwise good parents even being possible due to both needing full time jobs.

        I’m not gonna bang the 4dww drum in this thread, but reduced-day-same-pay working weeks need to happen yesterday, so many tangible improvements to society are just hanging there.

          Absolutely agree. We should have gone from single income households to “2 part time incomes” households

        Oh lol, well, I guess strictly not the bot’s fault either

        Though I guess probably also not necessary to reassure the bot.
