Have seniors become the new screenagers?
Sherry Bagnato isn’t a millennial or a screenager. She’s a 67-year-old retired Toronto mother of two, and her phone habits have flipped the script at home. Now, she admits, it’s her adult children telling her to put the device down.

Recently I was in a group with grannies (70+). One of them had brought her granddaughter (about 6) along, who got obviously bored. She kept her entertained with "funny" #TikTok videos. The girl wanted to explore our #books: 'Don't touch!'
And all these grandmothers, their eyes sparkling, could rattle off the names of the TikTok influencers who ‘keep children aged two and above entertained’. And calm. (Their parents, too!)

iOS Parents out there - do you also face a problem when you set App time-limits for the Kids, that the usage time continues running, even though they paused a video or stopped using an App to take a break or have a meal?

Any workaround?

More kids are becoming nearsighted, and the cause is plain to see
A vision problem that used to be associated with older adults is affecting more and more children: nearsightedness. Doctors say the problem has been growing since the pandemic, when screen time for young kids really took off. But a doctor in St. John’s says we can help our eyes by changing our habits.

why is #screentime blocking pinterest after ~30mins of 61 minutes available? this is one of a few apps acting like that on her phone. this is the combined view of all devices aggregated, and it happens all the time. downtime is 10:45p, so not that either.

Ever try changing the settings of a Mac so that instead of browsing to any website, you can only access the approved URLs that #ScreenTime manages? Great idea, in theory. Works great on my #iPad, but not my #Mac. Why? Because every #browser I've tried (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave) produces a lengthy list of IPv4 addresses it needs to use for nearly any URL I try. So, 1 URL prompts me to whitelist 20 new IP addresses in addition to the URL itself. What happened to the #internet?
