Episode 33: Teaching Kids About Tech (While Still Learning It Ourselves)

Virginia Markman

Summary

Before a recent trip to New York, I found myself deep in conversations about AI, cellphone use, and how families can navigate tech with more intention. In this episode, I reflect on grassroots movements, school initiatives, and why optimism, not fear, may be our best tool for helping the next generation use technology meaningfully.
