Retro-Tech Parenting

A technologist and parent concerned about exploitative tech practices is adopting "retro-tech" solutions to let his children enjoy technology's enriching aspects without surveillance capitalism and engagement-driven algorithms. He's reintroduced physical media like CDs and DVDs from the library, and installed a landline telephone to enable independent communication with family and friends. These older technologies provide curated content, privacy, and genuine autonomy for his kids without hidden corporate interests.
