I’m currently at university, but I’ve often wondered what you all think about the kids of today. Most of the ones I see on the street are glued to their tablets or already have a mobile phone at a very young age; most don't go outside to play anymore, preferring instead to stay glued to the TV or their tablets. Do you think these new platforms that emerged during the pandemic—like TikTok—are rotting people's minds, especially children's? I didn't get my first phone until I was 12, and it was a tiny one that was only good for making calls. My two young cousins ​​have their own computers and phones, and sometimes they’re a bit spoiled and mouthy, but I wonder what you think about this generation of children. Do you think this latest generation is a lost cause, or will they turn out fine in the future with the right upbringing?

I think tech is partly to blame such as the addictiveness of social media but I also give the other part of blame to parents. The rise of gentle parenting and permissiveness allows kids to do what they want with little to no parenting.
