That's what I see everything as now, a babysitter. I overheard some friends discussing what to do with their kids on a 7 hour car ride once their kids watch the movies they have in the media station. Their minivan has 4 screens, headsets, etc. Holy crap! If we could watch movies while driving down the road back then. There wouldn't be a couple of scars on my body. Kids getting tablets at 2 years old. How about Lincoln logs and let them figure out the square peg doesn't go into the round hole, without a hammer.
I see it even worse at the local soccer club. A bunch of moms sitting in their cars with the AC blasting, while their kids (in Florida mind you) are outside (including my son) working out and having fun. They are basically using SOCCER as a babysitter which, in my opinion, is just as bad. I'm out there with my son and playing with them and always get involved. My kid loves soccer and having fun! Why not enjoy it with him? It sickens me and my wife every time we go when we see everyone's car's running and pushing more heat into the air just for some damn AC so they don't have to be outside with their kids. It's that same mentality when I see parents outright ignore their kids and shove other stuff in their face like technology and whatnot. I don't really blame kids for getting addicted...look at how they're treated.
