Exposure outside the home is a miniscule amount and could not result in this sort of deep rot. It's not an impossible task at all. Don't give the kids a screen, and when it's necessary, use site whitelists. Yes, they will be mildly alienated, but I don't think we should care. They would also be alienated if their peers all smoked, and I would still not consider giving my kid a pack of cigs. They will recover from an unpopular school life, but they may never recover from the effects of addictive technology.
