Great article by Huffington Post that recognises "the positive aspects of digital cultures and the opportunities to harness technology to improve outcomes in education, mental health and wellbeing."
As we've talked about before here at Bizzibrains, dIscussions about limiting screen time very often miss the point. Technology and apps are incredibly diverse - content is important!

Although it may seem contradictory given I make kids apps, I agree with President Obama in this article. I'm a big fan of limiting my kids screen time and when they are using screens, using that time for good (such as educational and social learning) not zoning out.
Refuse screen time and your kids might tell you they're bored. After a while you'll see their imaginations kick in. They dream up some amazing activities and games to keep themselves entertained when they have to. Do this regularly and I'm sure you'll hear the phrase "I'm bored, can I have the iPad?" a whole lot less.
