In today’s modern society, we’ve become more and more dependent on technology in everyday life. Fancy appliances like the Instant Pot and air fryer entered our kitchens. The electric toothbrush came into our bathrooms, TVs in our living room, and electricity is even coming to our cars.
And with each passing day, we seem more and more inseparable from our smartphones and laptops. (Believe it or not, Steve Jobs first showcased the iPhone just 15 years ago.)
Ask a young man or woman today and needless to say they probably don’t know how to cook or do laundry as well as past generations at the same age.
More and more parents want to see home economics re-introduced to schools. What would be taught in these courses?
Not just cooking but also practical skills like understanding how to manage finances (i.e. paying monthly bills or taxes) or learning more about nutrition. As the saying goes, we are what we eat.
