Google & AI Give All the Answers, but Children Lose Important Basic Skills

What this episode covers

Modern digital technology is reshaping our world, but it is also quietly eroding the most fundamental life skills in our children. In this thought-provoking interview, former educator and parenting expert Curby Alexander of Texas Christian University joins the program to break down the unseen consequences of our uncritical adoption of technology. He explains the shift from analog to digital habits, why the loss of cursive writing and physical map navigation alters how the human brain processes information, and how the rise of Generative AI poses a massive threat to deep critical thinking. Whether you are a parent trying to navigate screen time, an educator looking to protect classroom integrity, or anyone concerned about the future of human society, this conversation provides practical, intentional strategies to bring back baseline cognitive skills before they disappear entirely.
