In a recent webinar, Hugh Grant expressed his frustration with the impact of technology on children's lives and education. He compared the tech industry's tactics in schools to those of a drug cartel, arguing that schools are too accommodating to tech companies. Grant shared personal anecdotes reflecting his concerns, highlighting how his children struggle to engage in activities outside of screen time. He acknowledged the challenging role of teachers and emphasized the detrimental effects of excessive screen exposure on young minds, noting the difficulties families face due to technology's pervasive influence on children.
"It seems to me that way too many schools, instead of calling the police, are saying to the drug cartels waiting outside the school gates, 'Would you like some biscuits? How can we help you?' and it's wrong. It has to be wrong."
"Watching our children suffer horribly - it's been very, very depressing watching Big Tech kidnap their lives and to see children really finding it very, very difficult to get properly interested in anything that isn't a screen."
