Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 3120185, member: 5195"] I'd even say 1-1.5 hours/day is pushing it. I grew up with the Atari 2600 and then in my teenage years the SNES became the greatest thing ever. It was also a bonding activity with my brothers, playing Madden, Tecmo Bowl, etc. It was addictive, but nothing like today's temptations. The difference now is the onslaught of the iphone, social media and online gaming, fortnite, etc. We didn't have those distractions as kids. And those are much bigger distractions - they just pound you over the head with instant gratification. The online aspect means that you'll always be able to connect with someone or something 24/7. Once a kid has an iphone they can access these things whenever they want. It's scary what our kids are growing up into. I truly hope flip phones are still around in 10+ years because that would be the first phone my kids get when they learn to drive. [/QUOTE]
