Uncle Couzens Lounge - Episode 11: Are Kids Spoiled And Endangered By Technology? - a podcast by Westbury Youth Centre Radio Workshop

Welcome to another one of Uncle Couzen’s special and crazy Lounges. I’m always very unlucky when it comes to invited quests’ showing up. But the show must go on! Uncle Couzen fought back, and this Friday’s episode turned out to be uitsteekend, a show to remember.

A big thanks goes to Dick Solomons, a social worker at the Westbury Youth Centre, and Keisha Maconi, a good friend of mine and a student of life, who came to join me on a very short notice. ??Today we debate how technology has evolved and what impact, both positive and negative, it has on our kids. The elderly people often say, that things were better in the old days when there was less technology and more played games and hung around in huge groups.

But as time has gone by, things have become a lot more dangerous and kids are placed in the safety of their homes with more technology. Their gadgets have become their best friends – or their worst enemies. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Is there a right or a wrong? Please listen and comment.
