They helped build the digital screens we depend on — and now they want to limit their children's exposure to them.https://nyti.ms/2D91nbw

You can't do much of anything on mobile devices aside from watch videos and perpetuate memes. You can't code, most are not great for reading, and you can't articulate complex opinions on them.

Elementary age and younger at these hack-a-tons don't have code that creates anything at the end. They may have fun, but other than an outline on paper and maybe a swag bag they don't leave with much.

That's kind of what I was afraid of, but I grew up coding before there were corporate sponsored "hackathons." We had a basement, doritoes, a couple piles of parts, two working desktops, DSL, a few extra CD-Rs and a lot of time on our hands.

Honestly, their time was probably better spend at home installing Gentoo on an outdated laptop. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page …

The best way to learn technology now is using open source software and learning to extrapolate instructions from manuals. Gentoo is one intro that doesn't require much anything but old hardware no one bothers with.

I suppose this is why I've always had the stance that children should not have their own phone, computer, or TV until they are 18 (the computer in living room). And if you must get them a phone, get them one where you control who they call or text.

Clearly developers & creators of big tech don't want their own children to experience the deleterious effects of having our faces in a device each & every day on our brains executive development & function, including emotional processing, decision making & cognitive control.

But I don't see a screenfree lifestyle as something realistic. Not in a world were everything is becoming digital. Also nobody wants to miss the comfort and the perks of these type of things
