Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds
8000mark@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoRegarding your last sentence: Are you suggesting insincere motives behind this study?
There is an argument to be made about how studies like this underpin technology averse boomers trying to vilify modern social life. OTOH, studies like this, correctly implemented, are utterly important. It wouldn’t be the first time science has proven something very popular (e.g. smoking) is actually also very harmful.

That sentence directed towards the article and it choosing to focus on one part of the study. Sure I have not read the study so the link between “struggling” parents and development can be much weaker than screen time and development. It can be that the article presents the study without favoring any results. Or it could be highlighting those results that drives more clicks. I feel the second option is the more likely one.
