fear of technology - let's call it technophobia - is a growing, developing threat in our society that needs to be addressed with education and exposure. when people have a better understanding of technology, and are exposed to it more, they tend to have less fear or resentment of it.

banning children from technology is not a socialist position; socialists embrace technology as the solution to wage slavery, which is the characteristic of capitalism that makes it little different than feudalism or other historical forms of slavery. wage slave capitalism is just the current world's form of slavery. civilization needs slaves to function. only technology offers us an escape, where we can build a civilized society without the coercive wage work or other types of physical slavery that are required for the civilization to function.

banning children from technology could only be seen as an extremely right-wing political position, and those that advocate for it should be correctly considered to be far-right, technophobic extremists.
