You are correct. My kids are older now and productive citizens. As a gamer myself, they always had access to the latest gaming consoles and all of my older equipment. I never had a problem with them playing as that would have been very hypocritical of me. I think my feelings about kids and tablets are the ages of these kids I see. Very young to be handed a tablet, but I guess you could argue that they won't be behind when they are forced to use tech like in class. Which is very different than when I grew up. I got an F on a paper once because I did it on a computer. Printed it on a dot matrix and the teacher accused me of cheating because I used a computer. Pissed my Dad off so much he went and bought an Atari 1027 printer which was a letter quality printer so the teacher couldn't tell that it wasn't done on a typewriter. Much different times than now where kids are required to use computers. I will be long gone by then, but it would be wild to get to look at society 50 years from now and see how things have changed.
