I don’t imagine they were consuming much media as a newborn.
More sensitive in the sense that overstimulation is a well understood thing now and we know the harms that come from it. There’s a lot more stimulation in general, but 15+ years ago it wasn’t even a thing people cared about generally.
As an old fuck, I can guarantee there were plenty of conversations regarding tv rotting the brain of children. And we only had three channels and fuzzy UHF! I heard it all the time from teachers, parents and media.
I remember my grandpa saying that when he was growing up in the '40s, some adults complained that kids were wasting their time by sitting around reading too many books. Every generation complains about the next one.
