Children no longer walk in the squares or play with dogs. They also do not climb trees or hug. Your best friends are not dogs, but your tablets and consoles.
Today’s children play 10 times less than they did 20 years ago, and every decade the number of children under 15 who can play outside of their cell phone screen is halved.
Young people don’t stay in parks anymore, they don’t put dry leaves on their books to remember, they don’t pick daisies to see if they like it. Today when they look at the likes of their Instagram, Tik tok and social networks, they know everything. In reality, they wouldn’t have known each other if it wasn’t for the photos they posted and the compulsory courses at colleges and institutes. They prefer to live in normal rooms that turn into a real communication center thanks to Wi-Fi and internet. They go out, they go out, but only to eat in a trendy place or drink in the “previous” or large bottles they arrange in the dark parking lots of discotheques that no longer open at ten or twelve at night. do this at two o’clock in the morning.
Most of them do not know what wet soil smells, they have never stepped on the grass, they have not breathed the fresh air of the mountains. Keyboard urbanites whose only interest in nature is to use it as a screensaver photo.
If you happen to see someone on the street by chance, they are distinguished as they walk enchantedly to the mobile phone screen. Experts now say they all suffer from “Environmental Deficiency Disorder.” It may be, but I’m afraid it’s our fault and there is no hope for them anymore, for them milk and eggs will always come from the fridge, but will never come from a cow or a chicken. Among other things, because that would certainly disgust them.
