Are we preparing our children for the digital age?

I know one older person who admantly refused to use or even understand an Automated Teller Machine, otherwise known as the ATM. No amount of pleading, persuading or explaining would convince them so. They would rather walk into a banking hall, brave the lines in order to get their money or make any transaction.
There are folks who initially refused to carry and use a smart phone. They despised those who seemingly spent countless hours away typing or chatting on the phone.
You have to accept that times have changed and they are changing at supersonic speeds. Only the other day, we paid utility bills to service providers. You would line up to pay for your electricity, lest it was cut off.
Then the banks offered themselves as avenues but today, with just a simple click on a smartphone, the payment for water, power, school fees, DSTV are executed without a hustle. No paper work is required and no more distances to walk.
A lot has happened and will continue to happen in the not so distant future. The digital age has changed the way we do our work. One does not need to seat before a personal computer (PC) to send or receive an email. This can be done in the bathroom of your village in Kyazanga, Masaka District.
Key questions though! How ready am I for the present future and the future ahead of us? How positioned am I in the wider scheme of things?
What kind of children am I raising and how adoptive are they to change to the robustness of this digital revolution? Someone said, many a parent today are sending children to schools to study skills and techniques that will be obsolete even as the children graduate. Isn’t that crazy?
One would ask, who does that? And yet that seems to be the norm. Almost on a daily, technology is changing the landscape; we are in the times when artificial intelligence has taken centre stage.Can one afford to bury their head in the sand pretending none of this is happening?
And as the world becomes cashless and borderless, are we equipped to cope, adjust and ride with the tide?
