Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
I don't know what, I've never seen this happen.
All over the world in the 2010s, family life became a fight over screen time.
Parents saw their children being pulled away, pulled away from them, pulled away from each other, pulled away from life, pulled into this weird world where all kinds of weird and horrible things happened to them.
They saw kids getting depressed, anxious, suddenly coming down with eating disorders.
2012 is the crucial year where kids are switching over from flip phones to smartphones, iPhones in America.
Here and Now Anytime gets to the heart of the day's big story all in about 20 minutes every afternoon.
Get smarter and expand your world fast.
Take everything important out of childhood and replace it with millions and millions of 15-second TikTok videos and Instagram posts.
That's what we've done.
So we can't expect our kids to grow up to be confident, creative, good performers if we don't give them a childhood that nature evolved for us in order to bring humans from childhood to adulthood.
We have overprotected our children in the real world and we've underprotected them online.
Oh, yeah.
Let's see what we can see about technology and childhood if we start with this premise that human beings are ultra-social creatures with deep needs for community and communion.
So what on earth do we do about the robot teachers and all of the other future waves of technology that are going to push their way into childhood without adequate safety testing?
Technoskepticism means that from now on, we put the burden of proof on them.
We make them prove that their products are safe before they push them out into the world.
So to begin, I invite you all to remember a time in your life, a period in your life when you felt fully integrated into a group.
Maybe you were on a sports team, maybe you played in a band, or maybe you just had a great group of friends that loved to hang out together.
Or maybe it was at work, maybe you were part of a team trying to do something big and difficult under time pressure, but you all pulled together.
