I use my iPad for literally everything from email to watching videos gaming and communications with family and friends. I have it in my hand about 90% of the day and the only time I don't use it is when I'm either with my wife, eating, showering or working. I know we are a technology of obsessed culture but is this normal?
My cousin... She's only 7 and literally ALL of her friends have iPads. They always play Minecraft (pretty good game), watch cat videos, watch tutorials on making sandwiches (Nah, just kidding... right?), playing Coco Wedding (Ugh! The bad graphics!), and other stuff.
Before she had the iPad, she used to drag us to her room to play and she used to be super jealous of our DS. She begged her parents to get her one, but instead, they bought her that stupid iPad (no offense)! Now, I'm all like: I need some cousin time. Wanna play?
Cousin: *glued to her iPad* ... ... ...Do you want to make food for this Toca person? OH! Or how about playing Toca Salon?!
Me: Don't you want to play with your dolls?
Cousin: Nah, I'm fine!
Me: Alright... Want ice cream? Or a lollipop?
Cousin: Oh! A lullypop! (She says it like that)
Me: Ah... I ran out. Fatman (a character my best friend made up dedicated to my cousin) might get you one if you play with your dolls! You love your dolls... Right?
Cousin: I'll play with the dolls on my iPad.
Then, I get lonely...
Not going to lie, that sounds normal. I see plenty of people glued to whatever Apple product they own all day, 24/7. If you feel like your Ipad is damaging the relationships you've built with the people around you, then try to distance yourself from your device. Try spending more time with the people you love than the machine you crave.
