- 0:00 So I was playing Mario Kart um last night and it got me thinking about how far both video games and technology have come just in the last ten years.
- 0:10 And I think the one thing that gets lost in all that is uh how much more difficult parenting is now more than ever.
- 0:17 I mean it's always been a hard job, but now there's just so much more isolation.
- 0:22 Even if you look at things like the Wii, which is what I grew up on, um, even when you play that, that involves being with your buddies, interacting with people.
- 0:30 Whereas now, all this new technology just sucks you into your own world.
- 0:34 And I don't know.
- 0:35 I think parenting is harder than more is harder than it's ever been um now.
- 0:40 Um and I really don't know how you go about navigating that.
- 0:43 I mean, there's different regulations you can talk about for the future, as I mean, this technology is only gonna keep growing and changing, and um, you know, it's it's a parent's job to you know to instill in their kids those experiences that every child should have as they're growing up instead of you know giving them this technology to so that they don't have to pay attention and worry about them.
- 1:05 Um and I don't know, I don't know what those regulations might be, but I do think that um now more than ever, um you know, youth sports playing instruments is more important than it's ever been.
