After I saw Kara talk with Don Lemon, I have not stop listening to this great mind and wonderful lady. Thanks Kara for sharing your ideas with all of us .

Kara is a BIGOT.

Kara is so right about older people being worse with tech. My boomer parents are addicted and have absorbed so much propaganda, they really cannot tell fact from fiction and I rue the day we gave them phones and internet access.

She said Millennials and up have a problematic relationship with tech. Are you a Millennial?

It’s an interesting idea about kids being more savvy about screen time. I have a neurodivergent 11-yo who would be happy to play Minecraft 14 hours a day. I wonder if neurodivergence has anything to do with healthy screen usage.

Congratulations Kara! Well deserved 🎉

The title asks the question but doesn't answer why we are supposedly childish.

Even if there’s no new jobs in media, so what? You can’t get a real job?

Could they be just human? 😂
