Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous day. Well,
it's almost hard to believe, but fifty years ago, if
somebody wanted to write you a note, they got out
a note pad and pen. Somebody asked the Internet, what
current technology do you think will be ridiculous in fifty years.
Some of the most interesting answers from people include charging cables.
People will say we had to physically plug in our

(00:20):
devices every day. Dental work. Anything regarding present day dental
work seem barbaric, dialer with chemotherapy, and medical devices like
CT scan machines. Let's hope that technology gets better. Loud
engine noises, internal combustion engines. Longing for the day where
you don't hear loud cars, chainsaws and mowers, trash. It's
not that there will be a solution for existing waste,

(00:42):
but almost everything will be reusable, well like it was originally.
Then everything went into the disposable state. Now back to reusable.
Other current tech people think will be ridiculous in fifty
years car accidents. Autonomous vehicles will work together to make
the current number of car fatalities seem ridiculous. Game councils.
They'll be replaced with streaming services, internet things. Nobody needs

(01:04):
their toaster, toothbrush connected to the internet, and toilet paper
seems like a medieval method for something we use so much.
It's wastees on, hygienic and causes all kinds of sewer problems. Yeah,
but what's the option? Because I tell you this much,
I ain't getting a bodet Deeper in the two, Well,
how old should kids be before they get their first phone?
If your answers thirteen? Science agrees. A new study found

(01:27):
thirteen is the minimum age kids should get their first
smartphone or be allowed on social media. Any younger than
that they risk future mental health. They based it on
a survey of almost two million people in one hundred
and sixty four different countries. Kids who get access to
phones and social media before the age of thirteen more
likely to end up depressed, aggressive, and emotionally unstable by

(01:47):
their mid twenties. The study blamed three main things poor sleep.
First of all, they line bed scrolling. Study found it's
even true if they don't have social media just to
phone them. Cyber bullying and not just from other kids,
Being online exposes them to all kinds of hate, and
poor family relationships. Once they have the Internet in their hands,
they start drifting away from other family members again. The

(02:09):
study found thirteen is the minimum. Experts say keeping them
off the phone and Instagram and things like that until
they're sixteen would be best. Well, it's tough, you know,
when their friends all have smartphones and you don't want
your kids to be the ones that are left out,
you know. I give my kids phones when they were thirteen.
Unfortunate for them, they were all landlines too. Again for
