I feel sorry for this lady. Sounds like she had a very boring home life centered around the TV. But that doesn't mean the screen time panic is necessarily wrong, though it is reductive in the sense that it treats all screen time as equal. Chatting with friends is the same as watching cat videos is the same as using MITs OCW is the same as watching porn is the same as popping virtual bubble wrap is the same as reading War and Peace on the kindle app. Likewise, some TV programming can be thoughtful and inspiring and other tv programming can be bland and mind numbing.
