I lay the blame here on the parents who allow this to happen. Our sons are limited to 1 hour per day of video games. Social media is also limited. They can earn some extra time by pursuing outdoor activities. They usually save their extra time for stretches of bad weather when they can't get outside.

There are really three things in tension here:

1. work vs. play
2. outside vs. inside
3. isolated vs. social

Parents would do well to make sure all three are in balance. Don't let society raise your children. Make some decisions, and raise them yourself.
