Signs of the Times

Rising numbers of infants lack the motor skills needed to play with building blocks because of an “addiction” to tablet computers and smart phones:

But upon reaching puberty, they can figure out how to get pregnant. Are they downloading instructions on their iPads and smart phones?

One would think that as the human population grows there would be a feedback mechanism which could cut back on the birth rate. Apparently such a mechanism either does not exist, or it has been overridden by the Internet.
