- My youngest brother gave me a teeshirt about ten years ago showing a camper sitting inside a tent with tv, etc., and a solar panel.
The message was: "There is a fine line between a person's hobby and insanity". I still wear the shirt when camping in the MH. - This dog isn't camping, he's glamping. :W

Video games on iPhones affect child development more than TV. What the game itself is doing to brain is one thing (some are useful, some not), plus the fact that games replace more conventional toys where child has to use imagination and physical activity.
