I once heard that it’s vanity to fight against technology - once it’s here, resisting it is futile. Our only choice is to learn to live with it.
Great point about parents needing to take responsibility to teach children how to use technology. By the time the next generation comes around, who knows what will be available by then!

Reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers: We are Microsoft. Resistance is futile.
