RE: The world as we didn't know it, will be

in OCD3 years ago

I hear you on the kids and their need to stay creative and enjoy things they learn on their own without the need of a screen and games. We have taken away the television earlier this year and it took a day or two for him to get used to it but his imagination has thankfully always been awesome. He wasn’t one to watch all kinds of shit but would watch good educational shows about outdoors and fishing and stuff. It has led him to have one hell of an imagination around the house, setting up traps and all that stuff. I don’t try to tell other parents how to raise their kids since it’s none of my business but I do point out when possible that the execs of the tech companies don’t let their kids touch the devices or websites for specific reasons. Why do you think? It’s horrible for kids that’s why! Lol.

I think the stuff also fosters just more sheep and people who are supposed to follow a specific path instead of creating their own way in the world. Not easy but lots of things in life are challenging!

The best games.

Me either directly. But no one is forced to read my blog, yet it is often that people do and feel attacked. Why would they care about a stranger writing on the internet randomly, unless they recognized some truth in it?

Many IT execs I know keep their kids away from tech in the formative years.

Yep. They are creating the relay nodes to leverage when they need.

Bloody good idea.
