Saying "tech is bad" or "screens are bad" sound very narrow-minded to me. Sure, there are issues in this "Tech-Saturated World" but I don't think avoiding Tech as much as possible is the answer.
I prefer a digital balance over digital minimalism.
I don't think that's what the author is saying. I think they're saying that over-use of tech from a very young age is damaging in later life and that the data from Gen Z is beginning to paint that picture.
she does not say "tech is bad" or "screens are bad"
> I’m not anti-tech. My entire career as a writer and editor has been enabled by the Internet, and I wouldn’t want to go back to a time without it. But great tools don’t automatically make great toys, and I want my kids to learn the difference.

The article says nothing of the sort. Nor does it advocate "avoiding Tech as much as possible".
Your comment is completely disconnected from the content of the article.
