Adults have all sorts of ideas about what kids should and should not be spending their time doing. I wonder what percentage of the first generation of at-home coders curdled in the shell with parents heavily restricting computer access (and patting themselves on the back for it).
Very smart people talk about how "screen time" is different *now* due to "superstimuli." This is a very reasonable-sounding argument, but no more so than the arguments a generation back. Indeed, messing around in the terminal or on geocities was quite addictive for a lot of kids.

Part of this caution should be for interactivity test. Are children able to run experiments and interact with the medium whatever that may be or are they just consumers engaging in one way dialogue so to speak. Huge difference in consuming verses interacting, latter more benefit.
Solid point.
The book I bought on HTML 3.2 in 1997 (?) was ultimately more useful than any of the text books I bought for my degree at the time.
This still is a worthwhile point. There are people on the other side who want kids to be addicted, and know what levers to pull. Coding is one thing. Social media is another.
It's just more specious nonsense, the idea that things are worse now. Things are always 'worse' when they happen to you. Adults will always complain about the next generation, it's nothing new and despite a new look it's just as trite.
I struggle a bit with this. Sometimes I worry about my kids spending too much time on Minecraft or whatever. Then I'll watch them build things and their architectural chops floor me. My son build a model of Fort Laramie in Minecraft for a school project and it was incredible.
Not everything that pattern matches to “this sounds like what parents said when I was growing up” matches in value There’s a substantial difference between fucking around and learning, and fucking around and consuming
