If you give in to temptation and give a bored little mouse your iPhone, even for ten minutes, he’s probably going to beam to some faraway place beyond time, space, and the sound of your pleading voice. And if he’s that far gone, he won’t have any idea what’s going on around him, and he might end up missing out on all the real fun.

GeneralDear Parents,
There is no doubt that modern technology has changed a lot about the concept and methods of learning, our knowledge of day-to-day life, and the relationships between people. While there are many benefits of technological mediums for developing children’s thinking skills, it is also important to understand their effects on children’s emotional and social development. This book comically presents to us the question of children’s addiction to these devices: How do they affect the child’s ability to feel joy, his/her ability to socialize with others, and to acquire knowledge and life skills that come from experiencing events and interacting with people?
Additionally, this book alerts us to our role as parents in helping children create a balance between the virtual and the real world. It is important to keep this balance, so our child does not overlook what Ivor fails to see in the story.
