The development delays are not because babies have excessive screen time, but rather because parents can't afford to spend time with their children. Articles and studies like this try to blame technology, when corporate interests are to blame. The US is one of the few countries worldwide that does not guarantee paid family leave.

The family iPad isn't the issue. It's your boss and the fact that all he cares about is maximizing profit.

Yeah, I read the title and was like: if the babies are with the iPads, it's because their parents are not spending time with the babies.

Now the reason behind it, that's another story, but I agree that it's most likely having to work like a slave.
