It’s pretty easy to tell kids whose parents let them have devices over the past decade from those who, with the benefit of hindsight, actually parented.

I suspect the former probably used the same “short sighted” motivated reasoning to excuse what, with the benefit of hindsight, looks like laziness. In return, their kids are neurologically stunted to the point of having little to no functional attention span.

For devices? We have tonnes of evidence in kids with versus without devices. Especially at the elementary-school age.

If you want a starker contrast, it’s this: rich communities don’t have devices in schools. Poor ones do.

We don’t yet have the long-term data for AI. But the same folks who were pushing laptops in classrooms and smartphones for five-year olds (and NFTs for poor people) are now pushing this FOMO.
