Have you read "Stolen Focus" by Johan Hari? It is a tale about how the advent of screens is subverting, if not destroying, our ability to communicate effectively. It is a great read, and not too long. It is interesting how he began to develop ideas about what he was planning to write.
I am quite happy that I retired from the physics/science classroom just before the arrival of the ubiquitous cell phone.
Great piece. Parents do need to be the prime example for their children, especially regarding this unprecedented screen time.
