The family iPad isn’t the issue

idk, i think you're too quick to dismiss this as a real issue. i don't disagree that overworked parents are a major factor, but going to restaurants, airports, and other places where parents are motivated to placate their children, you can't help but notice the amount of ipad parenting going on. sure, an hour here and there is harmless, but parents and kids both get addicted to the effectiveness and it easily becomes more than that
