RE: Why Kids Born Post-2000 are Screwed

Partial agreement.

The truth is that times are changing and while there are new challenges there also exist new opportunities.

It is sadly true that we exist in a World where its never been easier to get connected - and yet we also exist in a World where its ever harder to reach out to each other. We are a World divided - artificially so - where segments of any demographic live in fear of others. Our division is the symptom.

And yet, is it truly the fault of technology? Or is it perhaps the fault of an ever more outmoded social structure that fails and even refuses to evolve, such that it is left ever more deeply in the dust by the technologies forging ahead?

I'd suggest that the latter is true... and this, to be clear, is the perspective of a person who spent enough time as an introvert. A computer screen was my best friend at the age of six - and this remained true throughout to the end of my teenage years.

There is hope. Society can evolve to harness rather than merely offload technology upon kids. A better harmony between the two will lead to a brighter tomorrow.
