Not the future, but the present is digital. Let's teach our children to succeed in it!

To say that the digital world is new is no longer relevant. The digital world is as much a part of our daily lives as television and electricity.

If you look around you, you will see that the digital world is far from just for fun. Algorithms and software are now an indispensable part of many professions, from teachers to tax accountants, bankers, taxi drivers, even farm workers.

Digital services are woven into our lives just like the use of electricity - we don't even think that it is precisely thanks to digital technologies that we check the balance of our account through the smartphone on the bus, shop online, try on glasses in a virtual optician online store.

And what should we say about robotic surgery, which is unthinkable without the dizzying development of digital developments.

What is the final recapitulation - the world IS already digital, will be digital in the future, and we as parents must prepare our children for it. Having grown up in a predominantly analog world ourselves, we often demonize digital technologies too strongly, but they are the ones that will shape the job market of the future.

The development of the so-called STEM skills in children right now are just as imperative to their future success as mastering a foreign language.

Instead of trying to tear our children away from their devices, it makes more sense to cultivate their curiosity and intuitive grasp of technology and give them the skills they need for the future - to be creators, not just users, of the digital world.
