While there are parents with digital savvy, I deal with young children and parents in an affluent area of  So. California and even a 10 year difference with internet exposure is very significant.  I once programmed a whole series of computers for operating rooms in  a University Medical Center and I can say the more apps we get the less savvy is the next generation.  But I agree that our society refuses to provide adequate support.  This was somewhat always true but as a person in my 70's, I remember that it was the whole neighborhood who made it their business to monitor kids in my generation.  I don't know how many times I heard neighbors say. Stop that or I will tell your parents.  The isolation caused by too much iPad allows NO supervision and is problematic in both lack of supervision and causing isolation and character logic disorders.  These are not psychiatric problems alleviated by the diagnosis of ADHD and medication, but they are often diagnosed that way.
