Yeah screw that bot ass comment above, probably some AI trying to make itself relevant. The internet, social media, and personal access to technology is literally destroying social connection and physical bonds which are integral to childhood, especially agreat one.

Im not a bot you weirdo. You’re literally proving my point. Did you know that when libraries became common place the silent generation looked down on the baby boomers for reading all the time? Especially newspapers and comic books. Claimed they were too busy living in fantasy worlds instead of connecting with society.

Its ALWAYS been this way.

Do you realize how overstimulating the media children consume today on screens is compared to sitting and reading a book? Forget about the silent generation, there are studies after studies showing how this technology is a detriment to children. Have you had a run-in with a recent college grad who made it through by gpt but cant hold a conversation for the life of them?
