“ Should kids check phones at dinner? I don't know. To me, that's a parenting choice. ”
There's an evolution from, today we tell computers to do stuff for us, to where computers can actually do stuff for us. For example, if I go and pick up my kids, it would be good for my car to be aware that my kids have entered the car and change the music to something that's appropriate for them.

The impact of giving someone a connected smartphone is no different from giving them a real computer. I look at how my kids learn and how different it is from how I learned because the impact of these things is just so huge. Sometimes I think we don't fully internalize what it is to get the power of knowledge in everyone's hand.
I have a secret project which adds four hours every day to the 24 hours we have. There's a bit of time travel involved.
If I'm about to forget my kid's birthday, I want the phone to scream at me until I do something about it.
