What makes me sad is seeing babies in strollers being pushed down the street, on mass transit, just watching videos. Not looking around at people, not looking at the landscape, etc. I have such clear memories of pushing my nephew in his stroller and us stopping to look at flowers, to pet dogs, him waving and smiling at people, etc.
Yup. Zombie world.
I just laugh at the people and carry on. Could care less if others want to be that way. Most of my family has nothing to do with all the tech stuff though, some still refuse to get cell phones or just have a flip phone. One doesn't even have a TV. I'm probably the most techy of all them.

Call it "nerd" stuff and other terms that kids will want to avoid being.
We did that with the kiddos calling video games for dweebs and nerds and wimps and they never wanted one and don't spend hours a day gaming as adults now like most of Gen Z does.
Is this a joke? I hope you are not serious.
It works. Try it if it's not too late for you.
