N1 (elder son) was about 12 or 13, he had subscribed to Hindustan Times'-My First Newspaper through his school. He would often come home and share the content that would interest him...

He pointed out to one particular column one day, titled - Unique inventions. 2/3 write-ups got me to ponder deep, if I may word it politely, else it may sound like anxiety. I was hoping to get in thoughts.
The writeups have been indicated in red and hopefully you are holding a smartphone to zoom into the contents. If not, allow me explain:

Article #1 says that somewhere in Washington an APP is being developed to 'make us happy', nothing wrong with that, haina? Strangely though it's bothering me, even to this day, the very thought that my feelings are being tracked, analysed, rated and presented in form of visuals. It's like I don't need to know myself an APP is enough,; I don't need friends to understand, an APP has it's best interest, I don't need no parents,; no siblings, no human, and just incase I talk crazy like this, I don't need a psychiatrist either.

Article #2 also about an APP that works on a higher level, it judges my morality giving ample of rest to my conscious. I come from a school of thought where we learnt that self-realisation leads to God-realisation and the way future seems to go, APP-realisation might lead to APP-guilt, APP-penance, APP-forgiveness an APPtitude I'm beginning to dread.

Tell me are you APPy about this?

If necessity is the mother of invention, tell me what 'need' is it that we as parents are not fulfilling towards inventors of the future.
@khushboo chauhan - your thoughts?
