Person 1: "I have a great idea! Instead of thinking critically about how we use technology and its impact on our lives -- good and bad -- let's just make some arbitrary restriction that'll actually probably retard our kids in this modern technological world more than it'll help them. Because, as we know, the best way to get children to do anything safely -- from driving to drugs to sex, or all three at once -- is to give them absolutely no preparation or understanding of these things in advance. (Although, to be frank, the mullet thing probably makes sex less of an issue until Junior gets his first used IROC-Z when he's 31.)"
Person 2: "I have an ever better idea! I'll write a short article about it as if you're making some big statement about our over-reliance upon technology that in no way considers what you're actually doing in a thoughtful way! Like how you're losing work which translates to less money and might impact your children's abilities to attend institutes of higher learning, or in a bad economy could cause you to lose your home or worse! Or how you might be negatively impacting them socially! Not to mention making them less able to operate in a global economy which, like it or not, basically requires low-level understanding of modern technology! Because, y'know, iPads are all, like, annoying and stuff."
Person 1: "Gnarly!"
