Yikes! Mom or Dad don't read actual books to the kids?!?! With life so pleasant and so local, surely they've got time to do *that*!
I'm not averse to technology. I love my darling little laptop dearly, and as a woman in the maybe not-so-golden maturity of life, I have actually thought a little longingly about how nice it would be to have a commonly-affordable thoughtfully-designed robot cat.
But real turn-the-paper-pages books must be part of any future design, or we are lost. Cuddling with my baby, sometimes after midnight when I finally got to bed as a mom who worked outside the home, and reading "Goodnight Moon" with the baby finding mousie on the page was worth every bleary moment. Please write that into the script.
My main project is selling kid's books, so it can't be too salesy ;)
Kidding aside, I totally agree. I was trying to work in an angle on how technology might change entertainment in ways that were more local and more responsive to parent's preferences - not just more effective at propagandizing. Even when Mom & Dad are tired from socializing (which included the kids).
Movie night's fine. I credit TV from my own earliest years as keeping me somewhat sane in a household I'd've loved to have escaped from.
But I promise you--it's when Mom and Dad are bone-tired but grab themselves by the scruffs of their own necks and hie themselves to the bedside of the bath-fragrant pajama-wearing kids and read the book anyway--it's not in that moment but in everyone's memories three decades later that the value is fully redeemed.
This outlines my day more or less. I've been working in my home office since the 2020 follies. I have to go to big box stores to get my hinges for my 'bots, and I'm not using automation to that degree because I enjoy the actual work of growing the plants that I consume. Chickens are a must!
Being anti "commun..." ism, ity, ist, etc. I am encouraged by "...stake in the system. Some people will use their technologically-enabled leisure time to build strong civic organizations - churches, charities, clubs, schools, governments, and militias.
These organizations will create strong local constituencies."
I have a similar vision but more gritty, more violent, so more realistic.
& t's naive to be putting so much emphasis on the "techno"; we should be creating gardens of bio-technology, any future freedom for man, will have to be based around freedom for nature; it will have to be another state of nature, a neo-"techno"-primevalism.
Nice, it reads like one of the handful of people who understood archeo-futurism was both elements, not just LARPing as medievalism.

Be well.
Your teacher neighbor with the exoskeleton is from Gaza originally.
imma diggin still.
Flew down the scroll (as I indicated, still chewing on the text 8^ ) because I just arrived here on a lark from Barsoom.
That is more than most people I deal with on Minds can comprehend. ;^}>
"Bottleshigiri" is similar to tameshigiri, w/ obvious substitutions & more fun!
