Comment on New Jersey Sues Messaging App “Discord” for Unlawful Practices That Expose Kids to Child Predators and Violent, Sexual Content

  Its because they can’t be bothered to actually rear children. An iPad is not a replacement for you singing your child to sleep, or teaching them their ABCs, or reading to them. An tablet is a short attention grabber while you are sitting in a doctor’s lobby or driving somewhere. Restrict that usage to 4 hours a day at absolute max, raise it as they age. But they also won’t become tech literate using one of these. It obfuscates too much. So its really just sad all around.

    Not very long ago, just before your time
    Right before the towers fell, circa '99
    This was catalogs, travel blogs, a chatroom or two
    We set our sights and spent our nights waiting for you
    You, insatiable you
    Mommy let you use her iPad, you were barely two

    And it did all the things we designed it to do
    Now, look at you, ha, look at you
    You, you! Unstoppable, watchable
    Your time is now, your inside’s out, honey, how you grew
    And if we stick together, who knows what we’ll do?
    It was always the plan to put the world in your hand

    Welcome to the internet,
    Bo Burnham

      Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime!
