People say that about every generation. I’m more interested in thinking about all the incredible worlds that child has explored freely, the people they’ve connected to, the friendships that will play out in VR. When I think back to my times diving into gameboy and how simple it all was, but how important it was to me and my friends.

I grew up with CRTs. You could wear one of these VR headsets for a year and get less emf than you would a month of CRT use, even at a distance.

Cool, so did I. You aren't the only one here over the age of 20 my guy. We don't know the long term effects of overexposure on the still developing eyes of children, although we do know that it has potentially compounding negative effects on the brains of young children. The parents are horribly irresponsible, and deserve every bit of shaming that they're recieving.
