“The kids today aren’t getting the attention that I gave my kids or the attention my parents gave me,” says the 54-year-old Carroll.

“Their parents are completely wound up in their mobile devices and social networks.

“They have no attention span.

“Those first two or three years are formative, so somehow what they learn during that time is going to help shape their view of the world.

Futurist Jim “Carroll admits he’s only guessing, but says the child who is raised thinking, ‘Mom, dad, get off that device and talk to me,’ could conceivably grow up rejecting personally intrusive types of technology — despite the absolute certainty they’ll grow up in a world with more technology than their parents and grandparents living today can only dream of.”

I agree with his observation of the current parent generation as well as the likelihood that many will do as the younger generation has done for many generations, reject many of the attitudes and habits of their parents.

Back to the era of the hippies ….. ;-)
