Technology: Are interactive toys interfering with child development?

I think interactive toys do in some way interfere with child development I say because I think chldren need more hand on things. The interactive toys do help children in their early development stages with their language skills. I just fell like if they focus too much on their interactive toys they want know how to speak with humans, they will ony talk to their toys. Dr. Kaveri Subrahmanyam, associate director of the CDMC@LA, says that "children under two really don't learn anything from screens." Thats why I think children in their early stages of development needs more hand on things because they wont know whats on the screen. Children would do better with books being read to them and parents teaching them words. Instead of a screen trying to teach them stuff. All children learn differently some need more attention than others and some do learn from the TV and from computers and tablets. These interactive toys might help early childhood development and it might not.
