IPAD KIDS: Is Gen Alpha Doomed to Distraction?
Generations from Boomer to Gen Z are sharply differentiated by their relationship to technology. But Gen Alpha has been quite literally branded by tech--as the iPad Kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUTUeXxqEHo
Is there still hope for kids raised by Cocomellon and Disney Plus? Yes, but the hope lies with us, the grownups, the parents---not blaming ourselves or each other--and not making excuses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUTUeXxqEHo
The hope of Gen Alpha lies in revealing the (mostly) men behind the curtain--the corporate CEOs and oligarchs profiting off of screen addiction and turning children into their perfect passive consumers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUTUeXxqEHo
Turning off the screen is a powerful act of resistance and an act of care that can save Gen Alpha from the doom of distraction.
