Thank you for the comment!
(1) I like the head image as well, took me a few prompts until I got something close to what I was looking for. But Canva does quite a good job.
(2) Great to read that you gave your children that! It's a great gift for every child.
(3) Dune is on my list, too - fun fact, I played the game before I watched a movie on it (one of the old ones), and haven't read the books yet. One day...
And yes, I notice that younger people don't read as much. Beside the text comprehension and general communication lacking, there are other things that I relate to a lack of reading, like a reduced attention span and problem solving capacities.
Oh man tell me about that reduced attention span. I feel like soon kids will need a class at school called "Focus".
I apply the same strategy with my younger workers that I apply with my daughter - if I have the feeling that they did not pay attention to what I was saying, and said "Okay" anyway, I have them repeat everything I said. Works quite nicely.
