It actually depends on what is done on electronic devices. I feel as if your statement is more opinion based than factual, since many people these days believe that electronics are 'bad' for you.
It isn't such a bad thing to be allowed some time on technology. It can even be healthy, in many ways. Of course, there are cons to this, but those are easily manageable.
Gaming benefits your eyesight (sharpness of vision, how many things you can keep track of), improves awareness, strategic thinking, problem solving, reflexes, hand-eye coordination and fills a child's need for entertainment.
Social media should never be allowed for younger children, but it has its own benefits. Socially, it connects people and allows them to talk to each other even if they aren't able to see each other (such as family relatives who live far away).
Phone calls and and text messaging have similar benefits to social media. The internet can be an incredibly useful source of information, if you know where to look. For curious minds, the internet is the perfect thing to have.
To solve problems like addiction, limit time. Just don't restrict it completely. To solve problems like violence, keep the content appropriate. These are problems that are easily solved.
i hope this helped you understand technology better.

Now, I do think that parents should naturally restrict their children from becoming addicted to certain technological elements. My parents did not allow me to spend more than an hour a day in front of computer until the age of 10, and while I do not necessarily approve of such strategy, I do see what they were trying to do. It is easy to lose oneself in all the technology and all the temptations it offers, and to neglect obtaining the essential real life skills, such as interaction with people.
But technology in itself - I think, the more exposure the children have to it, the better. I remember a story about an Indian 9 years old boy who obtained the official Microsoft Office certification. It is clear that this boy is going to be very successful in life, and he will probably push the technology forward quite a bit.
