Interesting post! I find that education on how technology works and then how to use it (critical thinking as to why and the effects when you do use it to yourself and others), is #1. If kids learn first how technology affects them, they can go in carefully and consciously as to what they decide to use. Maybe even choose Steemit or other decentralized platform to encourage future growth. But if they understand that using a s specific app or network encourages it's growth (and it's not a long term healthy addition to our world), then maybe that's where the real change will begin.

Thanks so much and absolutely!

Think of the internet. We played around with it, got comfortable, and found what we liked. Spawned from AOL was AIM for easy messaging. The point is the market caters towards what the younger generation wants, because they are usually on the front lines of up and coming technology.

I wonder if the education system that I would only assume lacks in blockchain & crypto education, is holding back the teenagers from truly understanding the potential? There is an advantage on their side to hide this truth, where compared to the internet itself, there was no real threat and therefore allowed to be taught.

Thanks again for your great reply!
