Glad to see this.

As an Child and Adolescent Psychiatric, expert in screen time and soon to be father. I found myself thinking more and more about this.

I thought about resurrecting my old game boy advance to introduce my little boy to the tech world.

The long loading times, no auto-save, no in game purchases... I think It Will help him develop a healthier relationship with the machine in his more vulnerable youth.

Hello myopia my old friend. We will wear glasses to the end. Because my vision's slowly slipping. Played Gameboy while I should be sleeping. And the vision that I once could claim. Doesn't remain. Now there's just the blur, of distance.

At what age are you planning on introducing it?

    0-3 electronic toys (piano and cuase-effect toys), 3-6 simple electronic but short Loop, 6 onwards Game Boy Advance like.

    But my opinion will change with the ongoing and future scientific proof.
