True. But it's like people don't even have to think anymore. Critical thinking skills are bout non-existent along with actual communication. The very thing decades before us relied on. I agree there are pros and cons, but I just wonder how all of this technology will actually impact cognitive development in babies and children

If anything, access to information should INCREASE critical thinking, we now have more access to divergent/contrasting viewpoints and thinking processes than ever before. The Internet is just a tool, you can do what you want with it. Some minds will use it for social media, others will use it to find out more about the world around them :ld:

In theory it should, we will see how the next generation ends up.
