I am MAD about this

Last night I participated in the 2016 MAD (Marketing. Advertising & Digital) conference.
I must admit, this year I really enjoyed it. There were quiet a few speakers but one stood out from the crowed. David Shing or "Shingy" as called by some. David, so I have learned, is an Australian thought leader and self-proclaimed "Digital Prophet". Well after yesterday, I believe self-proclaimed is not the correct definition. The content of his "lecture" was of course interesting as hell but the way he delivered it (as someone once called it "the art of story telling) was inspirational to me.
So... Enjoy

Hello........

I have a question for you?
Do we tell our kids to lay off the screens or do we just leave them to grow up according to the times they live in?
It seems like they spend way to much time glued to their mobile.
On one hand, it looks like most of their relationships are virtual and not real, but on the other they open up to different people and cultures and a ridiculous amount of knowledge and information. So, are they're getting socially dumber while getting smarter?
I guess every generation has its own way of growing up, and that way is usually criticized by its predecessors (only this time it's us).
At the end, only time will tell, whether our choices dealing with this were correct or not.
But when I look at my girls I still believe in our next generation...




Great minds...
