I-pad baby

A way of describing someone whose early childhood development was dominated by screen time, often with a negative connotation to indicate the person has had their real world experience limited by too much time living in the technosphere when they should have been developing social skills and street smarts and playing outside. Some define Generation Alpha as beginning in 2010 with the advent of the i-pad, since so many of this generation grew up with the i-pad as their babysitter.

Person1: "I'm so frustrated, Elon Jr. is just on their screen all the time and never even tries to engage with the world or other people, they are such an i-pad baby".
Person2: "Yeah, its a real shame, but its not their fault, their parents should have made sure they got meaningful development time as a kid instead of just throwing a screen in front of them all the time..."
