Hopefully your parents would have enough sense to recognize the negative effects and give you a healthy dose of playing outside in the woods and whatnot. My kids enjoy technology, but they were cognitively trained from a young age to get outside and enjoy themselves.
I think with Millennials in particular we were kind of the experimental generation with tech and social media, which has obviously had some negative effects. I like to think we have smartened up enough to recognize there is a healthy balance, but this might be wishful thinking. Anecdotally (and sadly) when going out in public, I see a lot of parents more into their phones than their children.
