Yikes. Screens (really not screens but social media and corpo net in general) are so damn addictive and terrible for all of us.

No kids here but I'd have a hard time ever letting them have anything that isnt pre 2008 tech and zero internet until theyre maybe 13... Still too young. Limited net would be OK. kids at school are still gonna ruin it though.

Let them have screen time but restrict it to gophernet or terminal only ๐Ÿ˜

Now imagine how bad itll be in the future when kids are utterly addicted to their chatbot gfs/friends and then need to pay a $200 a month sub to keep them. Wild .

I'm imagining my kids facing a terminal window completely lost now. Lol.
