We are deficient in education as part of one strand. I agree with Dr. Aiken that it should be across the board but we are extremely deficient. I have learned stuff today that I did not know and parents have learned stuff that they and their kids need to know. Mention has been made of algorithms and social media and the effect on self-esteem. People need to know this so that when turn on a telephone, they are copping on to what is going on as opposed to being affected by it.
