I can see this from the perspective of someone who grew up before all these things were mainstream. But, if I isolate my kid from the relevant technology to avoid this, will he end up growing up to be an outcast, unable to interact with a society that grew up texting and playing with their parents' iPads? As much as I want my kid to be smart, I want him to be successful. Maybe we need to figure what's the right balance, and what will be the right definition of "smart" 18 years in the future.
But, given how fast technology is advancing, who can tell that?
