This mindset in the picture approaches “glowing screens” as being useless toys. That’s just plain not true. I feel like someone’s 80 year old Luddite grandmother wrote that, having no idea how important “glowing screens” are to things like homework, or being “productive” or “creative.” When I was her son’s age I was…
