That’s not an indictment of advertisement though, but a function of platforms encountered most commonly which has of course followed this trend.
It doesn’t really say much negative except that we’re old.

I take issue with that “we’re old” conclusion, not because I’m not old (I am), but because it implies touch screens are a replacement for keyboard/mouse or controllers in gaming. They aren’t.
They limit input to various touch actions on the screen, lack precision (in a way that varies depending on your finger size), don’t give tactile feedback (which is an important part of natural touch and helps with the precision thing), and obscure whatever is on the display when you put your finger there to touch it.
Exposing kids to good games might reduce their susceptibility to ads for shitty games. Also teaching them that just because you see “someone” failing in an obvious way doesn’t mean you need to go and prove you can succeed. It’s just bait.

It implies no such thing. Aside from being tongue in cheek it meant only that it is more common for them to encounter touch screen interfaces than other traditional HID’s. Which is covered by a lot of data. It may well be that keyboard and mouse are better devices.
All I’m saying is if some kid was shown a rotary phone and said they didn’t know what it is, it would be a bit silly to be surprised by that.
