Same, and most of it was wasted time. But at least it didn't follow me to school, or bed, or well everywhere.

I'm not sure completely shielding your child from screens is the best approach. I'll be attempting to have a visible space in the house where a laptop or tablet can be used. But they stay there.

Those aren't the same, but even those weren't good. I was on that stuff too, big waste of time that I wish I had back.

none of those were specifically engineered with the attention-economy in mind.

I did the same. But sometimes I wonder if that’s why I’m so unfocused today.

The demographics of those online were probably more healthy than today.
