I think that some parents will use a device or game box with their kids when they get around 6 or 7 yrs old. The kids escape into fantasy as the parents return to their lives before children, playing catch up with the world themselves. The kids grow up without the instructions they need in the future. Between 6-11 yrs old kids learn what they will become as adults.
Anything my kids want they have to work for, chores, homework all that crap is done. A childs parents cannot be their friends no matter how adults think they can be. I rule with an iron fist and it works because they get rewarded after, not before they do what they have to do.
Hopefully it prepares them for the future as I've always said that I don't want to spoil my kids with an easy life.
One is 10 and the other is 13 and they just got I-pads and Nintendo devices that they can be on for an hour or so a day after homework is done. I don't have to force them to get outside and ride their bikes on nice days, they just do it. Electronics are the bane of society, good for things but not an end all.
