As a parent who's was "Why"ed to death by two curious kids in the pre-google era, I can tell you that I would have killed for "someone" to take on a part of that burden! ;)
>>I couldn't help but think it won't be too long until kids don't need parents much
I think you meant need as pure "question answerers," but we do a few things for the kids that Siri and Alexa wouldn't have the stomach or, for that matter, the arms for. Oh, also: love!
- interfixus 9y agoBecausing back when you are why'ed is a really fundamental part of human parenthood. I wouldn't have missed for anything.
- mythrwy 9y agoWhen the answer can't be found perhaps the voice assistant can say "Because I said SO!".
- johnchristopher 9y agoI found giving an answer that has some kind of final or really helpful/obvious consequence helps a lot. A reason instead of an explanation (that's tricky, don't mock your child). Eg: Instead of: - Why does it rain ? - Well, you see, there's that thing about clouds that goes through different pocket of air and... Try: - Why does it rain ? - To make vegetables grow :). YMMV
