Interesting article, but is there any research to back up this claim? I didn't see any sources referenced in the article. While I don't doubt there is a link between a more sedentary modern childhood and a variety of other issues, jumping to "blame the iPad" seems a bit thin.
Just asked my fiance who works at a after school program for K-5th graders. She says that although she's not sure if these kids use more technology, the only correlation she notices is that kids who can hold a pencil/pen properly will write more then kids who just grip the pencil/pen (implying that their holding it incorrectly).
