Grant appears totally awake to our digital nightmare that we’ve collectively fed our children to. He seems genuinely pained, in a helpless way, by the omnipresence of the “screen”. His point of view here, and mine, will be mainstream within 10 years. We will stand in awe at what we’ve allowed to happen, at the destruction of entire generations of children we’ve facilitated. And maybe there will be a political will to pull the plug on “connectivity”. Or, just speculating, the creation of a device that wipes the internet from existence. But millions more will have to get to where Grant is at before this could ever be remotely considered.
Hugh Grant: "It's been very, very depressing watching Big Tech kidnap their lives, and to see children really finding it very, very difficult to get properly interested in anything that isn't a screen."pic.twitter.com/mURHDVIUnx
