To add a second, more cynical comment: if it is ok for our children to be addicted to these devices and staring at them like zombies … why not just give the devices to prisoners, and let them have the luxury of being zombified? It would solve a few problems and also it would offer avenues to retrain their minds in regard to mental health techniques, behavior modification training and things like that - via the apps which would be available to them. Obviously we aren’t going to let them watch YouTube all day, but tablets could be maximized in place of or in addition to mental health services for people who are sitting around causing trouble out of boredom. Just my two cents
