As said. It is what they have learned. 85% of the brain structure is developed by age 3 which includes a lot of the skill frames that support learning. Perhaps if their parents had been better educated, they wouldn't have been so quick to sit them in front of a TV or put a device in their hands.
The children from 30 years ago would run and play and jump. This prepared them in a different way. The children today are encouraged to be consumers. Blaming the children is like blaming the car for running out of fuel.
The current garden we have created for most children is the playground at a McDonald's restaurant.
I don't think you could keep teenagers away from the wireless devices found everywhere in our society even if nobody under seven years of age were allowed to touch them. The young and the old seem to be using tablets and mobile phones alike.
Nobody is blaming the children. What I'm saying is that having the kids sit too much at the computer at home instead of participating in traditional classroom education at school would only make that situation worse. Are you saying that parents are at fault for not making it feasible to have the children homeschooled by AI's on their computers because they've given them too much screen time at an age too young?
It isn't in the usage, it is what they are using them for.
I am saying that in the future, what people imagine as education now (even the 'cutting edge') could look fundamentally different than what people currently think. For starters, the AI is going to make many of the jobs school trains for redundant and if things go really well, there will get to a point where people do not need to educate for work, they educate for enjoyment. It is not a 2 years or 4 year project run by a government hoping to be elected again.
