According to a leading UK inventor, A Google generation which relies on the internet for everything is in danger of becoming brain-dead.
It is true that children are losing creativity and practical skills because they spend too much time in front of screens. Unlike previous generations where children took time playing with practical things and trying to make things on their own way, the current generation doesn't have that. Some of them spend almost all the time after school indoors on screens instead of boosting their creativity by playing outside with practical things.
The likely-hood that the next generation will lack innovative skills to advance technology is high. And so it's time to give the kids the right approach to education and a good foundation to creative skills.
