I know social media has been around for a bit now. But as technology progresses, you begin to wonder how far facial recognition and things like that will go. Especially if you are a parent.
I will always say, you should never post your child’s photos online.
I am not talking about repairing them, just knowing how to use them.
Again a child knowing how to open Snapchat and playing with filters, knowing how to use TikTok and the current hip lingo, knowing how to install apps from an app store, knowing how to use products as intended is meaningless. You’re grandfather likely understood how to use the technology of his youth, and he struggles with today’s technology.
If you don’t understand the underlying technology of today, you’ll struggle with the presentation options of tomorrow when you’re old.
You don’t have to know how to repair a computer, that’s not my point. Understanding how to repair is understanding how it works, understanding that it’s a computer, understanding the role of storage and memory, understanding how the technology works and not just how to navigate today’s UI shipped by the company that made a particular product.
Growing up with AI without understanding how it works isn’t a valuable skill, on the contrary, it prevents acquiring critical thinking skills.
I agree with you on the education part. People could do math way better back in the day. They didn’t even need calculators in school.
