   I worry about their retention and comprehension more than the rest, but   
   there are additional potential issues for sure.  One of my younger nieces   
   is in the era of few books and no homework... most everything is online...   
   and it seems to have started a habit where she is online all the time when   
   at home, too.   
      
   I worry that it cuts down on their social interactions and may have mental   
   consequences.
