I made it about a third of the way through this piece before giving up.

It seems as though the problem is fear-mongering on the part of media and parents eating that shit up. Smartphones are just a convenient alternative to whatever kids before. And the last two generations of kids were said to not play outside either, but there was a different bogeyman to blame then.

Same shit, different decade. But it gets the knowing nods of approval and agreement from older folks.
