Loesch’s observations of her father influence her perspective by highlighting a generational divide in attitudes toward technology. Her father's belief that technology negatively affects youth prompts her to critically assess the role of technology in her own life and in society at large.
Loesch’s childhood experiences differ from her father's in that she has grown up in a world saturated with advanced technology, whereas her father experienced a more simplistic, less technologically dependent upbringing. This contrast shapes her understanding of the benefits and challenges posed by modern technology.
The differences in their childhoods inspire Loesch to envision a future that leverages the advantages of advanced technology to create more efficient and capable solutions for various challenges.
As a result, people will likely continue to view current technology as a “problem,” similar to how Caitlin’s father perceives it, possibly due to concerns about its effects on social interactions, mental health, or overall well-being.
This ongoing cycle of generational perspectives suggests that each new wave of technology will be met with a mix of optimism and skepticism, as individuals reflect on their formative experiences and the implications of technological advancement.
