You talk a lot of crap for an "expert".

The world is moving more digital and online, hence the need for phones, tablets, and computers is increasing, not decreasing. It's why IT companies like mine are becoming more and more important for running businesses.

What you're alluding to is actually "Uninvolved parenting" and is little to do with technology. In the past these same people would pass their kids off with a board game, comic or "go annoy someone else". Nowadays they do the same, but give them a device instead.

No, not for a long time. Unless you live in the woods with no one near you and never leave the forest.

Every other scenario they will sooner or later come into contact with this technology as our society relies so heavily on them and it is such a big part in our daily lives.

I think it's possible, but the parents also have a role as an active model. If you want your children to not be dependent on technology, show them how to have fun with other means, like toys or sports. Don't stand around on your phone all day yourself and then get mad when your kid does the same

i wanna see the science that claims an impact on intelligence. i mean physique is logical but depending on what you do, train your memory, critical thinking skills and coordination.
how you get them off it? offer them something better. easy as that. kids like doing things, if you give them a purpose and the means to create shit in the real world.
