    After I saw Kara talk with Don Lemon, I have not stop listening to this great mind and wonderful lady. Thanks Kara for sharing your ideas with all of us .

    Kara is so right about older people being worse with tech. My boomer parents are addicted and have absorbed so much propaganda, they really cannot tell fact from fiction and I rue the day we gave them phones and internet access.

    It’s an interesting idea about kids being more savvy about screen time. I have a neurodivergent 11-yo who would be happy to play Minecraft 14 hours a day. I wonder if neurodivergence has anything to do with healthy screen usage.
