I think we actually agree, maybe just a misunderstanding.

I don't believe that parental controls actually stop most kids from doing things they shouldn't, and I think these devices are bad for a growing mind compared to real world human experiences.

I think I misunderstood you earlier thinking you said that smartphones were easier to agree to giving children over a VR headset, because a VR headset is only for gaming. I think we both agree that they are bad.

Children will be raised initially by an expanded roomba with arms amd a babysitting AI.
