And on your note that you said there about parents, parents want to do the right thing.
I don't think they know what that is because they're not experts in this.
And I don't blame them for that.
The parental controls are not good enough on these devices or on these systems.
And so I think that's something that can be addressed as well.
But so much about this is education.
But I think it's one of those issues that
that just gets put on the back burner.
It is becoming more talked about in the news, but the economy is usually what drives the conversation in so many regards.
And we have a lot of issues going on in our country and our world.
So I'm hoping it's going to be a focus.
I think it's an educational push right now.
