A Tech Rule That Will ‘Future-Proof’ Your Kids

IDK, they seemed pretty focused until fox news came along.
Fox happened in the 90's, boomers were fucking shit up as far back as Reagan.

As an old fart who witnessed social gatherings for decades, it looks like social stunting comes from smartphones rather than their absence.
When you were growing up there were places you could go to be social without phones. Those don't exist anymore. You can't go to the mall and meet strangers, that would be weird and creepy. If you turn 21, bars do not have young people in them, they are for older people.
There is nowhere gen z people can go to meet other gen z people except online.
I know there is an exception somewhere but for the vast majority of young people today that's the truth.

Absolutely.

What about onlinebanks? Also a hard no?
Go to a branch and set the account up there. No reason they'd need your face. Bonus point of using a local bank: they have to worry about their customers doing a domestic terrorism on them if they fuck them over somehow. So they have more incentive to not do that.

Why will a kid need to open an online bank account?
Because some day they will be an adult who needs to know how to do things like buy groceries and pump gas. Hell, a 16 year old can have a car and a job, but not be allowed to pay for anything?
edit: that said , I'll be using AI generated faces for everything.

@Gsus4 Well then where do you want them to masterbate while they watch porn? -
Sadly this doesn't work unless the entire community in your area also does the same. Because your kid will be the only one in their entire school without a phone and they will be constantly bullied, and socially ostricized.
Or don't send your kids to public school to get bullied and shot

I generally keep to this rule as an adult, for the most part. Yes, I have my phone since it doubles as my alarm, but if I'm looking at a "screen" in bed, it's an eReader with a warm light. I figure I sleep better that way, without all the blue light.

It seems great at first, but lack of socialization is a huge problem. Don't get me wrong, I hate public school, but even as someone who went to public school and even I still have problems with socialization. I can only imagine home schooling would be worse.
And do you even have time to curate their home-school learning materials? I mean I manage to learn a lot by myself from reading a lot of science, politics, history, and articles on various topics on the internet, but are most kids gonna be intetested in that? Or are they just gonna browse tiktok all day? (Since you're gonna need to be at work and you can't watch them all day)
The middle-ground would be for parents to create their own sort of private school, but then that's gonna need a lot of funding, and its basically only viable for rich people (or at least "middle class" people), its not an option if you're broke as fuck. Also, running your own "ghetto" school (for lack of a better word) is really gonna get the authorities on the radar, and you have a lot of legal liability issues if kids start fighting each other or get sick, especially if you cannot even afford to cover legal funds to defend your little "private school" organization.
