RE: Raised in the digital age, caged in a digital cage
The last couple of years of my teaching career, cyber bullying became such a big thing that it had to be addressed district wide. Since kids could hide behind a computer screen, they felt as though they could say whatever popped into their head. The lack of face to face interaction is crippling our youth's ability to interact socially.
Kids now a days don't even know how to properly greet someone. Social skills have been eroded to the point where handshakes and making eye-contact with the person you are talking to are no longer practiced behaviors.
As parents, one needs to monitor the amount of time kids spend on all of the gadgets, or their lack of supervision will come back to haunt them!!
Adults the same.
Watch fifteen year olds interact together, and they look autistic.
Mine is only 3, but there is almost zero screen time yet and what there is, is severely restricted and provided. You re what you eat, and unfortunately people feed their children shit food and shit information - yet expect them to grow to be well-rounded and balanced adults.
When our children were growing up the big concern was TV time. We limited the time they would spend in front of the boob tube to about an hour a day. They were not even exposed to TV until they were almost four years old.
Gadgets get parents off of the hook. If the kids are occupied and not disrupting their parents everything is good in the parents eyes.
What a shame.
@tarazkp thankyou very much for the engage tokens, greatly appreciated.
I have copied and pasted the next few lines from a reply #farm-mom sent to @galenkp concerning engage tokens and steem-engine in general.
Thanks for the engage tokens my friend. thebigsweed and I are still new at the steem-engine gig.
I understand that many of the tokens can be given to others, it's just a matter of us learning how to operate the system. I have been trying to stake some beer tokens for the last several weeks with no success. We have learned so much and this is something we WILL LEARN, it just may take a little time.
Enjoy your weekend!
TV is the devil, especially these days as anytihng that could be of some quality is on pay channels. All that is left on the free to air is what is given away freely by corporations - nothing good. :D
Steem-engine.com for the staking, but to distribute most tokens you need to have enough staked first. For engagement, it is 1000 tokens.
Thanks for the info, will delve into steem-engine when we get back home.
