One of the vicious cycles

Had a nice long chat with the girls today, of which we discussed the topic of kids nowadays versus our generation... Couldn't help but think there's a vicious cycle going on, where parents expose their kids to iphone/ ipad etc to keep them occupied so that the parents get some peace themselves; in turn, the children become addicted to these new gadgets and games, and get distracted from school; then parents engage tuition teachers, or maybe even revert to ipad/ iphone for some educational applications to educate their children. 


Back in our days, when technology wasn't that advanced, we were better able to focus on our studies it seems. Makes me wonder on the two sides of the "technology advancement" coin. Bliss or not?
