Valid point. Using a screen for your daily work is one side. Another is sitting with family members together who are staring on a screen like zombies. I guess it’s the latter part that the author claims to be different than 10 years ago. I feel it.
There's a tiny bit of truth in that, but sometimes parents need to actually do parenting and force their family to put down the phone or stop watching the tv and do things together.
It would also make it easier as more family oriented businesses would become viable when they would no longer compete with phones and tv (e.g bowling alleys).
I obviously agree with the latter but it doesn't change the fact that the (vast) majority of parents will fail at it similar to junkies failing at getting sober.
