By far this is an understatement. Half of the problem is peer pressure. Schools, PTAs, etc. are not strong enough to fight the billions of dollars companies spend on promotions. Governments are not about to stand in business way, either. A simple solution is for families to build stronger bonds. The more attractive a family the less games, TV, etc. are. It’s a wake up call. Whether a disease, mental disorder or whatever - these are terms to ease minds - the truth is that until and unless families DO things together society will continue to weaken.

If your kids are smarter about their technology than ya, this would even be a lot harder, lol
