When I was young, for my birthday, I was given a Casio LED Calculator. My father said it was a crutch because then I wouldn't be able to do math in my head, and I wouldn't always have a calculator with me. Now they have iPhones with built in Calculators and even ChatGPT. I saw a video of a 3-year-old using an iPad and ChatGPT for everything, and couldn't even read. ChatGPT read for him. I read that 40% of the kids can't read at their grade level because they use ChatGPT for homework and in school.

Steve Jobs kept his children away from iPhones, iPads, the Internet, and TV. He said something about the way it affects their brains. https://www.uniladtech.com/apple/controversial-reason-steve-...
