Did you know that a couple of years ago, there were more selfie related deaths than shark related deaths?

this happens so much at live concerts, just put the damn phone down and enjoy the experience!

Actually even a put-on smile can lift your mood, say neuro-scientists.

Children missing childhoods.

Inaccurate. Even children who use iPads like to do other things in my experience.

This is kinda sad.

this isn't true for a majority of families. I hate these art pieces complaining about people using their phones to capture a picture or take a selfie. When I go to a restaurant no one is on their phone and I have never seen or experienced a social media centred holiday. This is a gross exaggeration. I don't know if it's because this a american normality but where I live it is very different.

Sad, but true, Now! I'm glad my children went OUTSIDE to play! I never bought them this stuff.

this makes me sad

Sad.

The banality hurts.

this is grim.

There is no more flying kites and playing in the field.

Nobody will know each other

Sad.

Sad.....

Grandmas missing grandchildren

tbh I am a child, I enjoy nothing more than cooking with family

Sad😢

This one's particularly sad and I am seeing it happen in our own family. Not funny

This says it all 😐

SAD THE KIDS CAN'T TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THEIR COMPUTERS TO MAKE CHRISTMAS COOKIES A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE....

Reality today

This makes me so sad

so sad, they don't know what they are missing

This makes me sad.

Children having a different childhood.

The child will get such of childhood, as his parent gives him.

the awful sight that i saw in where i live is an empty playground... I couldnt remember a days in my childhood tht the play ground is empty, even when it rained...

Children being brainwashed and exploited instead of being respectful and showing gratitude. There could be a series of these illustrations with the same kids in the background, at the dinner table, camping, at a restaurant, at a national park, at a baseball game, etc, etc.

Tbh, this isn’t me... I love baking

She's probably streaming it live.

I didn't even see the kids in the background. I only saw the cookie cut-outs and thought it was an appropriate comment on Holiday consumerism. ...where Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentines are a combined commercialized blur.

no comment

A mother enjoying some peace and quiet.....

Societal issue?

Vorweihnachtszeit!

Most kids, today’s kids, would jump at the chance to help make cookies. This one’s a no go.

So sad.. I loved making cookies w my mother... there are ways to use technology together tho..

Profound!

if shes like my mom criticising everything u do n says ur in the way thats the issue

Some of my best memories growing up are of playing video games with friends.

Well...at least they aren't bothering the neighbours by being too loud? And they can have cookies?

This one just hurts, I don't know why, but it does.

Children missing childhoods or children not experiencing your own image of what a childhood is supposed to be? Whilst I agree that fresh air and entertainment-less family centred time pays dividends, it is a sign of the times and good bad is just your interpretation of experience.

Cookie cutter cookies, cookie cutter children.
