The problem to solve is addiction. When I was a kid I could spend the whole day and week in front of the play station… but my parents thought me that, well, that’s not normal (and ofc sent me to sleep every other night). Why social media or phones is different? Parents need to teach these kind of stuff to their kids. It’s the same for drugs, sex, money or any other thing

And as a kid I'd risk being shouted at, and/or grounded to get onto the playstation at night, and the same with my computer.

Shoving a pillow over the dial-up modem because I didn't know you could turn off the dial sound....
