Let's start answering in parts:

First I want to congratulate the initiative to help a compatriot of mine who is about to receive the beautiful gift of a son.

With that in mind, I share the post, upvoted and delegated. I know there is little I can do, but I'm glad I can do something, even if it's just to congratulate.

I think it was a French philosopher who said "We are all children of our time", it hurts that I do not remember what it was, at least if I have located that José Ortega y Gasset said something that is in this same tune "we are us and our circumstances" , so we can never leave out the context when we try to understand a group of people or one in individual.

I say the above in the sense that our sons and daughters have been born in a world different from ours, in their case they are digital natives, since when the WWW was booming it was that they were born and since the mid-90s of the Century XX, all of us who are from earlier date are something like "Digital Immigrants", we were born in a previous era and we have to adapt.

Despite the generational change, there are certain things that I would like to think that we can pass on to our sons and daughters: A Scale of Values.

Without a clear distinction of the values ​​we have and those we want to convey things can be very unpleasant in the future. It is to think about it, because what they and they learn in their childhood from us will mark the treatment they will give us in their adulthood and it is not about what we want them to learn, but about the example we give, that models more than any word that Pronounce

Now, although I always hear that children are investments, I could never think of treating them in such a way, perhaps I was influenced by Khalil Gibran and the idea that children do not belong to us, that they are a loan that the future world makes us and that we will have You have to return them when they are ready. Of course, I do not approve of the abandonment of the parents, but I do understand that they are very likely to treat me in the same way they saw that I treated mine.

Changing the angle of the subject a bit, and introducing a bit of robotic technology for caring for people, I wanted to point out that with the poisoning of the population, countries like Japan have questioned what to do to be able to provide accompaniment to those who age alone.

Being completely frank, I don't like it very much, but I understand that it is a possible future ... it may not be like having specialized personnel to take care of us, but it has some sadness, I don't know. Once one of my old relatives needed specialized care and her daughters hired a nurse, because with their jobs they could not be at home at all times, even today, I heard today that in Venezuela (with its migration problem, which leaves to many older people alone) there is a venture that is proposed as an "adoptive child", in which there are staff who serve as companions for the elderly, charging monthly fees to family members who are in other countries.
