I for one am glad my children grew up in the pre-internet age (barely, they are 25 & 27 now). They learned to love holding books, looking things up in the encyclopedia & dictionary, and think up other activities that didn't involve screens (but yes, they watched too much TV). They would even occasionally ride bikes, skateboards and play outside!

The new generation of parents is going to have to find the right balance for young kids with the preponderance of data, information and entertainment on screens these days. It creates a challenge.
