Way back, pre-computer, pre-smart phone, people lived in the ‘now’. Parents could control how much television a child watched, and children would play outside with their peers and learn many useful social traits.
The bright child would be streamed and parents encouraged to take them to educational venues; museums, planetariums, and expose them to ‘high’ culture; stage plays, concerts, while the schools took them on ‘class trips’ .
Everything was a ‘be here now’ experience.
Today, post computer, post smart phone, people live in a fantasy world best portrayed in The Matrix.
It is a fantasy world where imaginary actions and people one has never seen exist in their minds as reality.
Parents often assume the child is doing something sensible on the computer or smart phone when they are engaging in mindless games or stupid chatter. The fear of pederasts has parents keeping kids in the house as if imprisoned.
Being kept from other children, save in the controlled school environment, makes many children incapable of the real world interaction.
As streaming is abandoned and physical trips are replaced by virtual ones, the children grow up unable to distinguish between real and virtual.
The relationship of children to their computer/phone is that of the neglected child’s relationship to the Nanny.
This ensures that the child will grow up easily controlled and manipulated by those who have use for them.
Sad, but true. My kids grew up in the transition period. They know their way around a computer and the Internet but they also enjoy getting out and doing stuff.
You are lucky. I met a family with primary school kids who were confined to the house. What a horrible childhood.
I was in a doctor’s waiting room today and a young couple brought in their kid who looked to be around 2 years old. He didn’t have much of a vocabulary but one word he knew was iPad. He’s not potty trained yet but he uses a computer.
V beautiful post, its a best time clock. Always spend the good time with best work.

Nice Difference between them.
It is amazing to see people in America today, keeping their kids locked in the house.
