I think the point of this post is to remind us that the only thing that matters when raising kids is how much love you instill in them. Shiny boxes can't do that. We are social creatures, we need human touch and direct involvement. We can't use glowing babysitters on a regular basis and expect to get happy, well adjusted adults in a few years.
The shiny boxes are entertainment, maybe even education. But they can't be a replacement for loving parents.
So at least 1 night per week, banish the glowing babysitters and have fun with your kids. Play with them, be silly, let them talk your ear off.
You might even make a rule that says no glowing objects at dinner.
Anyway, this post made me think of this video:
That was hilarious, thanks I needed that!
