Think of all the kids who grew up without a computer and now they have no idea how they work and can't do basic tasks.
Hi there. Didn't have a computer until the 12th grade.
In the 30 years I've been working with Linux professionally, some of it was at a distro, working to secure it, and also Unix. I've managed an ungodly number of computer hosts, and I took over and maintained a somewhat well-known security tool I'm not gonna name. Lately I do automation: mgmtConfig when I can, Ansible if they pay me so much I can forget just how amazingly bad it is.
I was getting paid for Linux work long before I got a cell phone.
Uh ok mate thanks for your life story. Did computers even exist when you were in the 12th grade?
I fail to see how this is at all relevant to kids in the modern age being kept away from technology. Not having technology access today is completely different to 30 years ago.
Even if we pretend your experience is related id say you were a statical outlier. Most people who are not shown how to use technology will not become adept at using it. Thats why we try and introduce kids to a wide range of things in schooling.
The kids with technology are creating things earlier and earlier, recently a 16 year old made a game that took the record from fortnite for most concurrent players 21million. Growing up with access to technology opens them to an entire world of inspiration and I think if its managed by parents its a powerful tool that I'd never want my kids missing.

Your just shit parent. I gave all my teen sons Smartphones and at the same time parented my kids and kept track of what they were doing with them. I still pay for 2 of my kids phones. I love it I can track where they are at, and call and text them when I need to. Dumb take "they can pay for them" bet you still be all up in arms of what did on there even if they paid for them. You are going turn you daughters in to unknowlegable and vurable women who will have hard time later in life. All on you trying protect them. Just fucking educate them on the dangers. World scary place deal with it and make sure they are prepared for it.
I love how on the internet all it takes for someone to call someone a shit parent is a mild difference of opinion.
It's just 0 -> 100 at the drop of a hat. Its fucking hilarious to me.

Agree, my child only uses dial up internet, I find that they don't have the patience for the page loading times and forget about streaming. /s

No, I always pulled out.

lol. Or grow a pair and tell your kids "No" once in a while.
This.
My wife and I have 5 kids. The two eldest have phones (Pinwheel phones), and we also have a Switch and some tablets. When asked about playing on devices, we have told them more than a few times to go play with toys or to just go outside (weather permitting). Sometimes a tantrum happens, at which point they lose all device privileges for a certain amount of time until they shape up.

Dial-up would take several minutes just to load the framework of a modern webpage.

I think their experience is very relevant. It illustrates perfectly that kids don't need to be immersed in technology from a young age to become proficient at it later in life, if it's beneficial to them.

I miss POTS. Copper landlines are a thing of the past. Now it’s just VoIP with a battery that doesn’t last long enough and another bill. (And place for scam/telemarketers/junk calls)
Yes, this is frustrating. You lose power and there's no way to communicate.

And the person calling someone else a shit parent uses it for surveillance.

Its anecdotal at best. Its like if someone was saying "we should give kids school lunch so they preform better at school" and then I replied "I didnt have school lunch and I got top my class" you'd think ok that changes nothing.
There is a lot of research to support the idea that adults are less likely to pick up a skill if they weren't exposed to it as a kid. If you dont grow up working with technology to make things you're less likely to go down that route as an adult or late teen. Thats a huge disadvantage in today's age.

Google has sharply reduced its support for nonprofit groups devoted to DEI, in what appears to be another sign that the company is falling in line with President Trump’s anti-DEI crusade.
