Kids shouldn’t be on social medias though.
Not sure any of us should, tbh
Quick! Everyone get off Lemmy!
Okay
The internet was a mistake
It brought a lot of good, but it’s destroyed multiple generations ability to concentrate and interact in good faith. I don’t think we’d necessarily be better off without it, but I think the world might be a better place
I'd recommend you read up on the multitude of distractions people have had when talking outside.
During normal conversation people rarely looked eachother in the eyes.
Yea. Good luck on that. Just like everything else some parents let kids do it and then the whole peer pressure things happen. Plus how the hell are they going to learn to be responsible when they are old enough unless they have some sort of exposure?
Abstinence is a novel concept but it is not at all practical. Kids are part of society and will be part of the adults within a decade. I think it's far better to teach them how to navigate what is going on rather than throwing blinders on them.
I thought parents from my generation would be better equipped to ensure their kids have safe use of technology but somehow they are even more clueless than my parents were. Yet my grandpa has dementia but can use his Linux computer to bet on horse races online. Most people are just not fit for internet exposure or computers and phones in general and will get more fucked up by it and there isn't any realistic solution.
