The iPad does not make the kid stupid. The kid that is stupid was already going to be stupid, tablet or not. Blaming “the tablet” or “the videogame” for the kid’s behavior is like blaming pencils for getting bad grades, and simple-minded folks rely on this.
I’ve grown up (as have many of you) seeing others growing up, and have seen a couple generations of kids grow up after me as well.
All traits are on a normal distribution. The kids that are smart will learn all day long with an iPad, and will find videos of kids making songs about addition and multiplication. The dumb kids will spend all day 6-7-ing.
Since traits lie on a normal distribution, the majority of people have the muppety idea that “it’s the tablet that is bad - can’t be my kid” while having passed muppet traits along.
