When I look at my two cousins sitting at the screens all day gaming or consuming Youtube, constantly asking for new toys being bought because they get bored of the ones they get in one evening and then forget about them, I wonder what will become of them in years to come.
It is not my place to say how they should be brought up, but I wish their parents taught them thinking about things, problem-solving and spark their imaginations with real-world things instead. However, most parents are too busy to work away anyway, then tired from all the working to really work with their kids it seems.
About things people don't want to do. I think it can be easily fixed by changing the attitude. If we are able to do things we want to do it is a privilege, we can't always be privileged. We are no special snowflakes.
I see it as a class gap forming where there will be those who qualify for real work and those who will just be consumers. I think that if walking down the street, we will be able to identify which is which by looks alone.
It really isn't easy and there is more and more reliance on someone else to do the teaching (school) without recognising that they have an agenda too.
I wonder if there will ever be a device that allows us to tune our own attitude.
