The youth can lead us out of the darkness
People’s Post Woodstock, Maitland & City

A JOURNO'S VOICE
On the precipice of the Vietnam war, famous folk singer Bob Dylan once sung: "Well you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone cause the times they area-changin".
These timeless words seem so prescient and ominous in the uncertain times we find ourselves today, in the wake of the bloody war in the Middle-East, inflation, the Ukraine invasion, Trump's presidency and Artificial Intelligence (AI) modifying and "streamlining" the way we work.
Sadly, the skills more people are developing lately are related to how to "perfect" their AI prompts to visualise a concept instead of struggling to understand photography or learn an instrument and use critical thinking.
I dread the long-term effects on our brain processing power after decades of relying on producing prompts instead of pondering and solving some of the problems ourselves.
It is often said that each generation assumes they are living in the "end times", while the one preceding it feels that today's youth are "doomed, spoilt, entitled" and frying their brains with TikTok and Instagram.
