My kid is 9 - YouTube is her search engine. All my efforts to explain that is what Google is for have failed. Every time I use Google she laughs at me and calls me old :)


Doesn't that make her slower? Youtube has better quality results most of the time, but it takes so long to watch the video and get to the information I want... I always start with a google search for that reason.


Yea I am always wondering the same thing but what I am searching for normally is instant answers to questions while I am finding she is searching is more like “how do I…?” it is all fascinating to me…

Her older friends use TikTok in lieu of YT which might be “best of both worlds” but I am not ready to let her use TikTok


Interesting. If she wants to know "how do I" stuff, then I guess chatgpt will be a huge success for her generation!
