Well done. Your children will definitely thank you for reasons not
even apparent today. Teaching children about technology, rather than
letting them be taught by technology is the key here.
This is the new tobacco. As research accumulates on detrimental
effects (individual cognitive impact and societal damage) it's going
to get easier to do the right thing for your children. It's hard right
now in 2022, as seen in the many hostile comments from those who've
made other life choices and feel obliged to defend them.

- nonrandomstring 5y agoFor real? Stoked! I've kinda considered that one a "failure" and moved on to "Ethics for Hackers" for Routledge - which I promise will pull no punches. :)
- urlwolf 5y agoI have recommended it to at least 20 people. I'm sure my girlfriend and close friends are tired of me bringing up the topic in pretty much every conversation. You did something great with that book. Last time I recommended it I said something like "If you were impacted by Stallman or Lanier, this Farnell is deeper, more philosophical, and at the same time more applicable. It solves a real problem that _everybody_ has." They look at me with Dali-like eyes-wide-open :)
