it's not as much about screen "time" for kids. the real problem
is the screen "content" is addictive.
if a kid uses the ipad to look at family photos then it is an excellent device.

Exactly 💯
The problem starts when parents leave the screen babysitting the child with anything that hooks the attention, without know what the child is watching.
A child with a device properly configured with parent control with a selected content of apps previously reviewed by the parents, is an educational tool. A tablet full ok books, educational apps, encyclopedias is not harmful.
Prevent children to access the technology will only delay their learning curve, not preventing them from be addicted. A lot of adults which born without screens are just morons with their smartphones, being raised without screens is not the answer.
The whole point of GUI is to make it addictive .. I mean all work can be done on text interface ..
Graphics are the first application of #AI .. #GPU :-)
