I hate it when people say technology is taking away kids’ childhoods
If anything, it’s actually giving kids more of an opportunity to let their imagination out
A lot of times when I let kids play on my phone, they go for the drawing app.
I watched a girl on the bus write a silly poem about her friends and then laugh as she made Siri read it
I hear children say to their friends “hey, FaceTime me later” because they still want to talk face to face even when they’re far away.
I see kids sitting, who would feel lonely and ignored if it weren’t for the fact that they’re texting their friends who are far away.
Children still climb trees. They might just take a selfie from the top to show off how high they’ve gotten.
They can immediately read the next book of their favorite series on their Kindles.
Most kids would still be up for a game of cops and robbers. Or maybe they’d google rules to another game they haven’t played yet.
When children wonder why the sky is blue, they don’t get an exasperated “I don’t know” from tired adults. They can go on Wikipedia and read about light waves and our atmosphere.
They show off the elaborate buildings they created on Minecraft.
Anyone else have a really vague and weird memory of a live action TV show about Mother Nature with a character named Sage? Or was that just a weird dream I had?

Most kids these days think 80’s music is really old but can you imagine what YOUR future kids are going to think of 80’s music? And not just music, even movies. Like infinity war is going to be some old relic of the past, that to future kids, has crap cgi but to us it’s amazing. Pop culture right now is going to be talked about in some kid’s history essay.
the thing is most of us arent attached to technology itself. we're attached to it bc for most of us, it's the main, or only way, we can contact some of our loved ones. so when i panic bc i dont have internet or access to technology, it's not the technology/internet itself im upset over losing. im upset over losing the ability to contact my loved ones. and phones especially are important bc they provide security as well. like if smth happens, u can contact anyone at any time. it's a major comfort
If you are gen Z, you know what bullying is. It’s not the mean girl in school telling you you suck, it’s your family. The mean girl is easy to forget about. She doesn’t know you, why should you care? When your mother tells you that you shouldn’t wear that bathing suit (even though you think it looks fabulous), when your uncle says you can’t sing for shit (even when you’re in the school choir), when your older cousin laughs at you for eating popcorn, and tells you to watch your thighs (even though you’re thirteen), when your aunt tells you that you’re dressing like a whore, and Jesus hates you for it (even though it says that NOWHERE in the Bible), you start to doubt yourself. They know you. It could be true. The same people who tell you that you can always come to them if you’re depressed or bullied ARE THE BULLIES. It sucks that they can’t get it through their head that you are already unstable. They have forced us to become stronger than them, to bottle that anger until you can’t anymore. We know one day we will crack, and when we do, we get called hormonal, and made fun of. They have caused us to become unfeeling and angry. Bullying isn’t just one person making fun of your outfit. It’s a large group of people telling you you aren’t worth it, and you can’t do anything.
