I don't think their opinion is without merit, but I believe there are numerous other factors at play here other than the proliferation of consumer electronics. I know from the numerous studies as well as families in my own community that parents are spending less time guiding their families and more time allowing the t.v. and computers to keep them quiet.

The technology does not tell us how to use it. If you let kids do what they want of course they are going to sit on their asses getting fat, watching tv and playing video games. I think the technology is wonderful, and any legislation to curtail it would be horribly misguided. It is, was and always will be the Parents and not the governments jobs to choose the path for their children.
