I think I’m on the contrary of the opinion that AI , phones and tablets also help kids … humanity needs these tools to process the vast amount of information that is continuously generated. By getting familiar with these tools the kids are getting equipped for the future not for the past. But while we do that I agree that we should also equip kids with the ability to focus and persevere and being patient. In fact we need to focus more on these abilities. We need to focus on the inside world as much or more as we focus on the outside world. Both needs to be done hand in hand to progress.
