Yeah, that's very true.
And I think that, you know, I keep mentioning it, but it really speaks to the need for digital safety training.
We put it this way, you know, I'm a child of the 80s, you know, best generation.
Magnum PI, you know, all the great TV shows that my kids think are hilarious.
I was a digital nomad.
You know, I wasn't born with the internet.
I wasn't born with cell phones.
You know, those things for me...
happened in college.
And I grew up with a rotary phone and my kids have never seen one, I don't think.
My kids are digital natives.
They were, I mean, they weren't technically, but they were kind of born with a cell phone in their hand and the way that they have friends and communities and relationships are online.
And that's just way different than my childhood.
So as it comes to my responsibility as a parent to protect my kids, there's this learning gap
that I have to bridge.
It's my responsibility to bridge the gap.
It's not my kids' responsibility to tell me about the vulnerabilities of their world.
It's my job as a dad to figure that out.
And how can I guide them through that?
And so that's where this digitalsafetytraininginfluence.org, that's where we offer that.
