Gregory's Server@nazokiyoubinbou As a technology educator, something I always used to tell parents is that every generation's cognition is shaped by the information technologies of the era. That was true for oral history, writing, printing, radio, television, and the internet. Every generation perceives cognitive differences in their kids as "bad." Different is not necessarily bad.

 @mttaggart  @MxVerda @mttaggart It does seem like humans as a whole have a kneejerk reaction to hate anything different don't they? It's ironic people pretend to care all about uniqueness, but the moment someone steps out of the box they lose their minds. |
@mttaggart Agreed.
I keep seeing things fussing about screen time. How dare kids learn how to operate the technological devices that will fill their futures, right?
EDIT: As a side note, I really want to bring up social media. My parents thought stuff like that would wreck my brain. Meanwhile my mother now believes that "They" have laser satellites and burn down towns thanks to her Facebook feed.
