Are Kids Today Addicted to Screens? l Keynote In 5

what are your thoughts about kids and screens the issue is not hypocrisy you can't talk about screens all day and say how shitty they are and then when you have your friend over and the kids are making noise you throw the iPad at them I just don't understand why parents continue to blame technology instead of themselves and the second you blame yourself well then you can start controlling the outcome you want we are getting better and better and better at pointing fingers it's the government's fault it's this religion's fault it's this Tech company's fault it's this app's fault it's this influencer's fault we've gotten so good at blaming absolutely everything but ourselves that we're starting to hit a Tipping Point the reason people are so unhappy is because they're judging everyone we're all judging each other which is actually just a tell that means you're judging yourself we're just in this Perpetual thing and so you know I think screens are incredibly positive and Incredibly negative the same way I feel about everything start the beginning of a new Society I think it's time to start blaming ourselves and the second you blame yourself well then you can start controlling the outcome you want but blaming screens but then not enforcing it in your own home when you have 100 control because you're worried about your child being mad at you for a little while seemed soft what world do you think your children are going to be living in screens Amateur hour if the metaverse is Right which I think it's very hard to see a world of why it would not be right because I would argue we live in the metaverse now how many hours are you spending looking at a screen so you know like where do you think this is going I would be flabbergasted if in 60 years people aren't living in a Ready Player One World it would make no sense to me other than vacationing out of it but like technology only goes in One Direction We're not gonna ride horses down the highway it's not happening just a quick question about our kids 90 of what the kids are learning at school is gonna be done by a high much in a much easier you're very nice okay 99 so my question is how can we direct them into things that you think AI is not because for me the future is going to be Ai and human doing things together so what part on The Human Side can we push our kids giving someone advice on how to parent their child is the worst one on one macro there's clearly themes couple things right now schools across the world are Banning chat GPT what can we do we can push against the schools and have a meaningful conversation here's what I mean by that schools are Banning chat GPT because they don't understand it they're banning it because they think it's cheating or it's undermining what they're selling memorization of commodity of information schools are selling for our children to memorize information that is commodity because it's at the fingertips of our phones meanwhile chat GPT and AI is about to teach the world the value of critical thinking chat GPT sucks if you don't input thoughtful critical thinking so we have this moment in time right now where we can literally teach children how to critically think the singular thing that actually matters when we get older yet we're just watching and as a matter of fact most parents are cheering the Banning of Chach EBT because they fear new things they're lazy to look into it or they're just not thoughtful enough to realize what the [ __ ] is going on so I think a couple things one it's gonna be hard for you to find all the parents in the school to convince the school not that that's going to be hard but what you do at home is not hard and it's no different than screens if a child feels from a parent when the school is saying no to something that they come home and you're saying yes to it and you're teaching them while you're learning Yourself by the way of how to use these tools it's invigorating because most kids start off not fully wanting to conform and then they're just beating down into it and then they become anxious because they want to conform to doing well on something every 90 days and the whole thing is just whack so I think the biggest thing you can do is try to teach them how to critically think and I think AI is the first scalable tool I mean you could have done it with search but we that was you know we almost became too commoditized and we don't think of it that way but there's a lot of actual critical thinking in search like the better you are at it the

better your results will be however AI makes Google feel like the encyclopedia when this is all said and done we'll all be telling our grandchildren no it Google was amazing that's why we did everything and they're gonna laugh the same way that we all laugh at the Yellow Pages today so I think doing things with your children whether it's hiking playing video games like anything you can do with your child forms a real relationship it's just very powerful normally we've already done the things we do with our children but if you're able to go with your child on this journey together on how to become a critical thinker as an inputer to artificial intelligence and maybe one of the most fruitful Journeys you can go on thank you very much cheers
