We’re visiting some friends in Australia and almost everyone has an ipad per kid with unrestricted YouTube access.
They feel kids keep themselves entertained with iPads and games. Some of them have glasses at a young age since they look at the iPad so closely.
I’m legit worried for the next generation of kids who grow up on YouTube consuming endless amounts of ads and crappy entertainment.
Add that to the fact that an iPad is a very poor creative device and mostly a consuming device. I learnt programming at a young age because I had a proper keyboard and programming was mildly entertaining. Flash and actionscript were my canvas of endless creativity in holidays.
It’s almost impossible to program anything relatively complex on an iPad.
For the parents of HN, how do you ensure your kids use tech appropriately and don’t develop mindless addiction to it?
