| It's far quicker/easier/more convenient to sit in front of a screen and try find some buttons. Your issue seems to be that those buttons have got harder to find and understand - that's a fair point. My point is that - overall - clicking some buttons and waiting a few hours is far more accessible, faster, easier and less disruptive than what my parents had to do 20 years ago: It required far, far more effort and thinking and action to find some physical, expensive, modern hardware, digitise signatures, and the post things off. "Faster" is very relevant in a discussion about convenience and effort. The important point is how convenient it is for the child and the adult. Now, a child has to sit for an hour watching you fumble around on a screen. I had to wait for days and days whilst my parents fumbled around with cables and when to the post box and other stuff. > the amount of time actively spent dealing with these things. My parents used to have to spend more time actively dealing with me and my things whilst I was waiting for the post. We're not going to agree here. You're a parent, complaining about how much time you have to spend supervising your kids. I sympathise for you, the modern world has a whole lot more expectations of your time which my parents didn't have. This is one of the many reasons me and my partner chose not to have kids, sorry. |
