Good god this hits home
Months ago I was visited by a relative who brought their eight year old. She's single and her boy is ever so slightly mentally not there. He's smart enough but just not there with everything. Plus the mother is not capable of looking after him. So many wrong things and I hate to judge anything about it .... both mother and son are having and will continue to have a hard life.
As we talked, the son spent the entire time with their device looking at YouTube videos.
At one point I wanted to try to make friends and asked him what he was watching .... he mumbled and ignored me. I looked over at his video and it was just a completely nonsensical animation of characters running around like in a video game ... I couldn't understand what was happening or why, the cartoon animals were just mumbling nonsense, laughing, running and flashing lights and constant cuts to new scene after new scene. I looked at the kid and he was two steps away from just drooling.
I couldn't believe it and it scared me. This device was melting any amount of brain power the kid had.
It made me think about myself and what the hell I was doing with my time.
It made me think that the world is all doing the same thing to one degree or another. Some are better, since are terribly worse.
It made me think that humanity is doomed.

In my experience, it's either anime characters and flashing lights/colors or some streamer screaming his head off. Both equally nonsensical.

No. I mean, there's a plave for low art, but we're much better at artlessslop these days.
Decoupling art from content the same way we decoupled content from physical media.

Sometimes that iPad is there for you not the kids, try raising an autistic kid with unlimited energy, when you get them in a restaurant or bus, if the iPad is gonna keep him quiet and occupied, that means you don’t have to hear him complain.
Kids aren’t robots, they’re people, and some have special needs and get overwhelmed in the fucked up world we made. If super kitties is gonna keep him relaxed for a bit so be it. -

We used to watch garbage pail kids and treated ninja turtles like it was art. I won’t judge kids for what they’re into now

Quantity is an important factor. A half hour a day of brainrot isn’t a big problem, constant brainrot during all your free time is going to impact your concentration abilities, your mental image of the world, your ability to build meaningful logical connections and so many other mental development elements.

Mechanisms of manipulation and control are getting more and more sophisticated and it's really fucking sad.
Its like watching someone overdose. It sucks. And we don't have language about it, even shitty language, like we do for drugs, so it's hard to even talk to people about.

Not really, it's a kid, it should know that by using the Ipad it is destroying it's capability to pay attention in the future, not to mention using an Ipad, a product built in a Chinese factory with suicide nets, really the kid should feel ashamed for supporting such a business practice.

Yeah, time to start canceling toddlers!

My colleague is real nice and all, but exactly why she gives iPad/phone to her toddler is exactly for the reason you mentioned. A lot of parents are lazy. And we wonder why the younger generation is turning right, because techno-fascists know how glued we are now to digital devices.
