Today's kids have become addicted to tablets

School kids of today have become addicted to tablets and other electronic devices. It seems a kid as young as six years get up in the morning and the first thing he does is to check whether the battery of his iPad is fully charged, as per his instructions the night before.
He studies in Class I of a prominent public school in Gurugram and is hooked on gadgets. Most of his time is spent on playing on his iPad or the smartphones of family members.
This has been reported in thehindu.com dated 5 February 2017.

This boy carries his iPad to the local park to ‘play’ with friends who also join up with their own gadgets. That is the hobby of the latest generation - they feel handicapped without their iPads and tablets.
As a mother says - role playing games like chor-police (cops and thieves) and pakdam-pakdai (catch me if you can) have been forgotten. These have been replaced by classroom games where children play teachers giving lessons on mock tablets.
It is also seen that teenagers are also dependent on gadgets and apps. They are known to download workout videos before undertaking even the most basic exercise. Obviously, unknown to many, the digital revolution is happening right from the grass-root level. By the time they mature, they'll be tech savvy and love the cashless society.
