There has been a lot of talk – and actual legislation – about prohibiting children and adolescents from using social media. I’m reminded of the famous quote: For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. That’s why I liked this fresh, more nuanced perspective by Linda Liukas, a Finnish developer turned children’s book author and playground designer. Key quote: «I’d like today’s children to approach the internet the way a child moves through a Japanese neighbourhood. Free, brave, and a little wild, trusting that the space has been built to support them. And I’d like us to start designing those streets.»
