It's true, SIDZ. We can't replace all digital tools. I want to share my experience as a mother. Since 2013, when my son was just 2 years old, we decided to live without a TV and we’ve created a library for him. He is 13 now and he can't sleep or eat without reading books. We've created a little magic in our home.

We also do not read newspaper, no TV in our home, which creates nothing but negative impact than anything positive.

Google & You tube have penetrated deep into our lives.

The other day I was amused by a board outside a doctor's chamber. "Before entering kindly leave all your 'google' knowledge outside".

On independence day the person who folds the flag for unfurling,was absent and we were just wondering what to do and suddenly the security man suggested,"Sir, google par dekh lo.

And yes we did it

Just remembering the advent of calculator, then computer, then Google, you tube and now AI..all inventions and discoveries of human, have made life easy but have thrown many challenges to human beings thenselves.

The ones who can think out of the box will be winners and ones who blindly follow what these man made designs give you will be one of the crowd. Use these for guidance only and then apply your brain...only the human race is the lucky ine to have been born with one.

I agree , simple things like using google maps all the time , I remember how we could stop and check for directions in the past and soak in the beauty while travelling but now no more .

Todays learnings and Take aways:

1. Yes, you Its possible now to say lie and make it a truth in todays YT world.

2. The child innoscense is lost to explore the world because of YT world.

3. Instead of "Don't do...." to "Do this....". The tips are wonderfully summarized.

4. Its a double edged sword. The parent has to be "OBJECTIVE" weighing both possibilities it offers.

Great line to take away "Be the Change Your Kids Need" as a bulb on moment.

Thank you sidz for caring one such child if not in ILH would have been on YT[hehe].

Yes it's true when you become creator you can identify a lot of opportunities and show them the flaws and make them identify as well. Those things you ever noticed in your lifetime. Like some devotional song with just 4 clips playing entire song like that sort off. It's called creator lens. And the songs we listen in aditya music especially those with lyrics that video is just created with captions only.

Being technologist I don't feel insecurity with anyone. Infact I encourage to correct me 🙂 that's stepping stone of building independence.

Google uncle n youtube genius have invaded our family privacy secretly over a period of time. N this is a🔥 issue in every family to convince not only kids but senior members also who r into it a lot. It has washed reasoning n logic out of many who want to get results effortlessly. Faith on seniority n experiential learning has simply replaced by this quickbits.. So Sad state of affairs.

Technology or internet actually helps people to evolve their skills and knowledge by experimenting through different methods tried by so many enthusiastic YouTubers. In fact, any and all the learnings in future will be on the internet itself, which has got maximum advantage than any other media. Even before many realize, internet is going to takeover all the organic learning systems, more swiftly than one can imagine.

ONE MORE PART THAT I LEFT OUT IS WHEN I AM READING YOUR BULB ON ARTICLE I HAVE TO KEEP LOT OF PATIENCE AS WE ARE HAVING ONE MIN REEL EMBEDDED IN OUR BRAIN. BUT WHEN WE PLACE OURSELF IN YOUR STORIES IT TURNS OUT TO BE OUR STORIES ...PAST PRESENT OR FUTURE..... MORAL IS COMPANY/ COMMUNITY MATTERS. PROUD TO BE WITH ILH...."
