If that's the case, the same is true of reading or watching TV. Like anything else it's just about balance. There's nothing wrong with doing any of this stuff providing there's a balance. When you see kids who have to be given an iPad to be entertained while out and about or something that seems a bit depressing, but that's a parenting issue rather than a technology one.
Some do, some don't. Easy for me to say without kids but surely it's a parenting issue for those that "can't" detach.
Sometimes I go to work and forget my phone!! I can honestly say that it is a bit of a relief. Gonna do it more often
Great idea. I'm hoping it takes off. I'm planning on making a sequel to the movie & TV series " The Day of the Triffids" called "The Day of the Slugs and Aphids". A fortune to be made !
