> I was a child of the 80’s and raised by a Nintendo and my computer. I was also in this boat: My siblings and I watched hours and hours of television when we grew up, but we didn't start watching as toddlers. My own anecdata seems similar to yours, which is unable to verify what happens when you watch hours of brain rot from age 1 and up. | ||

> I was also in this boat: My siblings and I watched hours and hours of television when we grew up, Ahoy, Shipmate!!! Yeah, same boat, same story. I still think there's a larger difference today that makes it "not the same thing at all". Back then you watched what was on, and waited for it to finish. Now kids are seeing 30s shorts with the resultant attention span (that of a flea). | ||
