Reading a book and watching YouTube unboxing toy videos are not the same, most of the time. Not to say that all kids that are obsessed with technology are using technology negatively, just 100% of the ones I observe.
Reading a book is also a different action than viewing media on a device (unless it’s reading a book on a tablet). Using your mind to comprehend a story, words, use your imagination to build an image, build vocabulary, etc. is significantly more beneficial than just staring at information streams, videos, or playing non educational games to some extent.
