    Parenting is harder than ever, so I don’t blame parents.

    Back in the day you would have the mother home all the time, even more recently there was still a strong community in most places and big families meant lots of babysitters.

    Nowadays it’s fend for yourself for everybody almost everywhere, so raising a kid properly is almost impossible unless you are rich or have a lot of free time.

    I strongly disagree.

    Social media is terrible for mental health especially for the youth. Phones and tablets help in some areas like motor control development but also hurt other places like attention deficiencies and critical thinking, and very rarely does it lead to a kid learning how technology works (that’s usually from the computer nerds, aka kids who want a computer, doesn’t happen even close to the same rate as smart phones.

    Smart phones make people dumb. That’s my opinion. But the above are scientifically backed.
