Adults are refusing to grow up, and their children are paying the price

Adults who never want to grow up emotionally have created a generation of children who, like Cypher in the movie “The Matrix,” want to — or sometimes are even forced to — perpetually escape into technology as a means of finding their bliss.

According to a recent study, these kids are desperately overprotected from honestly engaging with the real world while simultaneously allowed to wander aimlessly in a technological fantasy land from a very early age.

They don’t mind if their kids are afraid and distant all the time, as long as they are afraid and distant just like them.

While 30% of 7-year-olds and 60% of 11-year-olds have a smartphone, the data also shows that about 60% of 17-year-olds aren’t allowed to leave their neighborhood without supervision.
