What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?

@jackjones68
Really? Why do you think that?

@swirlie the first thing a parent does not is give them their phones or a tablet. To keep the quiet.

@jackjones68
Why do you think that parents of kids born 5 years ago are not going to give their kids iPhones or tablets?

@swirlie Yes they will, that is the question 2020s kids. Im from an era when it wasnt a thing.

@jackjones68
I guess I'm not understanding you.

@swirlie He made a typo. He meant to say the first thing a parent does now is give them a phone or tablet....

@WelshLovely
I sort of thought that too... but I don't understand his first answer to the posted question then...

The question asked
..and his first answer was
..and then I began to ask him what he was talking about, which I now a journey I regret embarking on! 😆

@swirlie They're born into a world with the internet and smartphones, so they'll never get to experience life without them. Makes perfect sense to me because the majority of people use the internet every day and it's readily available, so kids are aware of them from a very young age.....

@WelshLovely
Yeah, that's true! In other words, they'll never know the difference between having and not having internet and cellphones. When I was a pre-adolescent growing up in Canada, I learned Morse Code from my father who is a Ham Radio operator, who would sit upstairs in our attic every night sending messages back and forth to his friends back home in Norway where he's from.

To this day, he won't buy a cellphone or pick up the landline phone, but will ask me to sit with him in that attic when I go home to visit to act as his official 'translator', since his friend-base these days is more English-speaking than Norwegian!
