Except all the "hyper-active" (etc) kids I knew growing up grew up to be normal adults, no long-term ill effects.
Maybe the box they're trying to put everyone in is just too small these days.

I've basically disconnected as much as possible - after having been wired to the core for a decade.
No video games, no network connectivity at home, no cable/satelite tv, no smart phone, etc.
Somehow, I'm still always busy, and somehow, I absolutely do not miss those things (except when I am in a hurry and need a piece of information - like... oops, I need a "schedule A" form to finish my taxes).
I feel much more able to cope with the necessities of life for not wasting so much time with electronics. My kids are aware of what gaming is - via friends of course - but have different hobbies instead. They are fun in a different way, but allow my kids to excel in certain areas of life. I feel I'm a much better Dad as well, as I don't have to feel guilty about shooing away the kids so I can hit max level on that new MMORPG, or give complete concentration to the RTS. Instead, all my hobbies and freetime are spent with the kids.  I am satisfied.

Your description reminds me of my dad when I was growing up. (Mum too).
I don't have kids yet, but I hope to be available like that when I do.

The idiocy of this article can be wrapped up in point 2 which begins "Technology use restricts movement..."
Not may, but an absolute statement. Never mind that a tablet allows movement, but reading also restricts movement, as does sitting in church, playing board games, eating dinner, sitting in a classroom, lying in a crib, taking a nap, being in a car seat, sitting in a swing....

It was kinda simple, wasn't it?

And Chuck's...
You don't think...Pete is Chuck, with a false chin? Nah...but then you never see the two of them together, do you?
I think we should be told!

The reason you never see her anywhere near Pete is that she's a sissy wuss.

I'd be careful there, Chuck is Gin-impregnated Bacon personified. With added CLstCtrl...

You never see me and Salma Hayek in the same room either. Curse that restraining order.

Why has she been restrained?

Reboot();

Happy birthday Pete!
