Cutting Edge Children

Nowadays, we call technology 'smart' because we've seen the 'dumb'. The upcoming, post-internet generation of young children will develop surrounded by unlimited access to and unrestrained connectivity with the rest of the world. For them, it'll just be 'normal'. This self-sufficient 'Generation Z' will be able to sidestep conventional physical barriers, and digital technology will enable them to establish their own social circles, sources of entertainment and education, making children independent of their parents at an increasingly young age.

Special thanks to my brave new friends, Timo & Aino.
