I'm still unsure about the whole question of "screen time." One thing I'm not unsure about is that a lot of the monetization mechanisms are evil. FIFA = gambling. But I know that's no argument against games per se.

You could make a case that it's a step forward that our kids play with virtual toys (= video games) rather than physical ones. If video games hadn't taken off, maybe we'd be complaining kids were so literal-minded they had to have actual physical toys

It would be a weak case at best.

Anyone who knows anything about how the vast majority of “studies” are conducted shouldn’t worry much about their outcomes. Unless it was a double-blind longitudinal study that factored in all relevant variables (probably not), ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I understand the neophobia factor though. Kids have been playing with physical toys for millennia and have been ok. On the other hand there's not enough historical data for video games. I suspect they are no worse and probably better, but can't prove it yet.

Complementing physical games with videogames is likely to be an improvement. Replacing the former with the latter is likely to be a regression.

Maybe one day we will demand our kids to stop dreaming like in 'Inception' and play some video game and dream time will be the new hot thing.

Video games and meditation during the day and Inception worlds during the night powered by

I love video games too, but my worry with too much screen time for my kids is that they won’t develop the necessary skills to interact in the real world.

The real world is digital my friend
