Gen Alpha’s Social Skills: Is Tech Stunting Emotional Growth?

[Shree]

Kids today communicate through screens more than face-to-face. Will this generation struggle with empathy and deep relationships? Should schools bring back more in-person social training?

Gen Alpha’s heavy tech use may limit face-to-face interactions, potentially stunting emotional growth and social skills like empathy and conflict resolution.

The more we are leaning towards online stuffs, the less empathetic people would become. Apart from just academics, people used to go to school to socialise, but now, schools are going online more and more. We would soon have a generation that doesn't understand what human feelings are because all they see is an emoji which doesn't truly express emotions.
