Although I am sticking to just a few places in Motovun this summer, I am learning a great deal about the world at large. Tourists from a large number of countries spanning all the continents are always around me at lower and upper squares, and I observe them with due care. As of late, I am paying special attention to their children. Our collective future, as it were. And everything is in plain sight already. Mobile phones, tablets, and miniature laptops are now available to children of all ages. Nowadays, even infants and toddlers are being entertained by means of electronic gadgets of all sorts. From the age of about four, they operate the gadgets themselves. A wide spectrum of games is at their disposal. By the age of five or six, social networks become attractive, as well, but they turn obligatory by the time they start going to school. Their eyes glued to the screen, the children rarely communicate with each other even within families, let alone between families of relatives or close friends vacationing together. It does not take me long to imagine all these children ten or twenty years from now. Their world smacks of dystopia well ahead of its time. When I take into account the ravages of climate change, I cannot but shudder. All it would take to make these children utterly lost would be a power cut. The World Wide Web would vanish without a trace. The end.
