I don't think that screen time is a bad thing but in my case, and probably many other homes, we really overdo it and I plan to have screens on less in my house.
Most people that live in Idaho during the winter love to play on their devices. We play video games with our kids, send emails from our computers, check Facebook on our phones and shop on our tablets.
Our kids love their devices too. If it were up to my 8 year old, he would stay home all day everyday and play on his tablet, video games, computer, etc.
