On TV. Children who are on Ipads or Smartphones for more than 5 hours a day tend to be obese and sleep deprived?

    They'll grow up to be sleep deprived obese adults on iPads, smartphones, or whatever is invented for 16+ hrs/day to pay for their McMansions and/or hip "city homes".

    This may be an overplayed sentiment, but I think the parents are at fault for not helping the child with social skills and letting them go out.

    I think they are pretty close to the bone here.  But, I also think kids are addicted and don't need any encouragement to stay put and use the computer.  I know how they feel myself.  I am not that bad, but time flies when you are on these things.

    That's true. People used to say the same things about old TV and even old fashioned phones.

    Oh not to THIS extent.  You are absolutely right, but now it is like Disneyland.   It is hard for them to return to mom and dad and living 3-D friends who are "boring". This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at December 17, 2016 9:47 AM MST
