They most definitely did not get it right.

Having said that, there is some value to being thoughtful about the adoption of new technology. Especially when it comes to kids, some parents are too quick to allow their kids to use smartphones, tablets, chatGPT, etc. without much supervision.

But, the prospect of having to forego virtually all modern technology or become exiled from the only family and community you’ve ever known is crazy. It’s really only cults that require that you shun people who have left the “faith”.

Sounds like being forced to use meta products to keep in touch with family who don’t want to learn how to use anything else.

  They don’t know how to use the phone? They don’t know how to use regular postal mail?

    Group chats have obvious utility beyond those methods.

    You don’t have to have a group chat with your family.
