This is written by some out of touch people. Sooner or later children (along with adults) are going to live most of their social lives in some non-physical form. Doesn't matter of it's on a computer, phone or VR, wearable or something else we haven't come up with yet. It might be instagram or snap or tiktok or something else. What it DEFINITELY will not be is the physical world. You lost that fight already. Maybe some rich parents will be able to spend a huge amount of money to craft a childhood that is physical first but for the majority of children, that will be out of reach.
And rightly so - children are just mimicking what the adults around them are doing. The parents are socializing, working and finding dates on their phones. It's just a better and more efficient way or doing something. When those children grow up they will have to navigate that same world. Is it a better experience overall? Probably not. Will killing instagram for children make a difference in the long term? No way.
What a waste of (digital) paper this pdf is.
