Welcome to ZedAlpha

--:--
If you're a parent, a teacher or a psychologist, do you ask yourself "how safe are our children?"

Do they grasp what big tech has planned for them?
What are they trading with every click?
And can they springboard off the greatest technological point in our history, and explore and excel?

With VR, AR, sextech, the metaverse, the next few years, or tennis upside down.

My name is Dean McCoubrey and this podcast looks ahead and examines the impact of emerging technology on our children from their self-esteem and mental well-being to privacy and cybersecurity, navigating the technological and generational divide and pointing them to self-regulation, critical thinking, vulnerability, emotional support, and a smart, confident life that excites and interests them.

Because the world is their oyster and for some, it's sitting in the palm of their hand.
