There is a time and place for an iPad. I am not young enough to have grown up with this useful technology in elementary school, nor old enough to have to decide whether I'm going to buy one for my children. I know that having 'iPad kids' is a stigmatized thing, and I understand why. If your only exposure to a child in your family is watching them play games at the dinner table and refusing to engage with another person, it might seem like a recipe for more antisocial behavior. But iPads aren't a universally negative tool. Giving them to kids so they don't cry their eyes out on a road trip doesn't sound dystopian to me. But giving toddlers iPads to play with during weddings? Now, we've officially lost the plot. One mother got extremely defensive after a fellow wedding guest signaled that she should turn her kids' iPads off during the wedding speeches. Her excuse? Her kid didn't get their nap today.
