Social media v/s Education

Is social media actually taking over education!

I always like to write live(life) examples/incidents, i feel the person is more connected to the content, and talking about content:

So, here's the thing. Last night, we had this family hangout, right? Just a chill get-together with everyone chatting away. My cousin starts talking about her son, my nephew, and how he's been glued to his screen more than his books lately. She's worried about his studies and health, you know? She tells him he needs to hit the books if he wants a bright future. But then, my nephew drops this bomb: "It's cool, I don't need to study. I want to be an influencer and start my own channel. You can make loads of money from that!"

And then my cousin's like, "Do you even know why we send you to school? What's your teacher there for?" And he goes, "Well, my teacher makes videos too and even said to another teacher that you can earn more from YouTube than teaching!"

That got me thinking. I mean, what’s happening with our education system? We had such a blast in school with awesome teachers, and now it seems like things are shifting. I wanted to tell him so much, but I was just stuck there, wondering if social media is really taking over education. Crazy, right?

Embracing Life Beyond the Highlights

Time has started to fly lately and I do not mean it in the cliched, overused way. I really feel that because of the constant overconsumption of information, in terms of reels, commercials, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, TV, gripping series, and so on. I remember our school period ...

“All this”

Most days I don’t want my son to grow up so fast. I don’t know if there is a term for this phenomenon. But parents often complain how fast their kids are growing up! May be we want to freeze the time so that we get to enjoy these precious moments longer.

Parenthood

Parenthood is taking us to a new level of maturity, strength, and perspective on life. Your priority becomes your child, and everything else shifts to accommodate this incredible journey.
