  What can they do against so many changes in the tech world.

  Be involved in their kids’ lives? Tech isn’t the problem here, any more than it could have been TV, drugs, music, video games, D&D, or organized religion. Kids get into some dumb shit, just because it’s the hot new thing doesn’t make it any different.

    Lol be involved in kids lives? 🤣 I will guess you’re not a parent but yes.

    But I think you bring a very good point here about drugs, it’s not possible to shield your kid from everything even drugs. But the way things are going using a kid using drug may be less dangerous than a kid using the phone.

    Especially because most people don’t encourage kids to use drugs, while is the opposite with phones
