Did the Author missed the note about digital age ? Society evolved since he was a kid.
His kid will also probably end up doomscrolling on TikTok and have the attention span of a gold fish.
That’s just how it is, you can’t change society and going against it is a tough fight.
I’d even say that the author contributed to it seeing his age and he works in tech.
I disagree with you. Yes society evolved as a kid but I think nowadays we're going to see increased class division around screen use habits. Educated wealthy parents increasingly try to control screentime and teach their children how to manage it responsibly while uneducated parents or parents who are poor in time (because they need to have 2 jobs to feed their kids) will let their children have a lot more access to screens and won't help them form good habits. I think it's likely to seriously decrease upward mobility in the future.
