Say what you will about the outsourcing of labor, but it's a bit goache to call them 'windup toys.' It takes skill to execute directions from a different country in a different language to exact specifications, even if the task isn't a higher order of intelligence. Just because they're paid less for smaller jobs now, doesn't mean they aren't capable of learning something more skilled in the future.

I don’t think all screen time is created equal. My kids only get to watch TV (limited) and we don’t have IPads and they’re not online. The internet imo is set up to be rewarding and addictive to keep them engaged.

They get bored of TV after a half hour or so. Watching my friends’ kids I don’t think they’d get bored of the stimulation of tablets.

The goal here is to get them bored so they go start tinkering with something and come up with some creation.
