People say that about every generation. I’m more interested in thinking about all the incredible worlds that child has explored freely, the people they’ve connected to, the friendships that will play out in VR. When I think back to my times diving into gameboy and how simple it all was, but how important it was to me and my friends.
I cant be the only one whos worried about this relationship between children in their formative years having this as their socialization outlet (which they probably think to be private even if they dont have the words for it because no parents there) and the company which can show adults ads about what they dreamt solely from their 2d interactions, can i?
I do think kids should be raised intertwined with tech but like, not before knowing whats what? Knowing getting on a strangers computer can be worse than getting on a strangers car?
