Summary | Richard Gerver, expert in education, lets his kids play video games to learn. Gerver claims that young people use new technologies to learn; they learn better if they feel involved. Today's education system is old-fashioned and boring; if we create something stimulating and fun, pupils will want to go to class.

Summary | A mother is worried that her sons are too passive, always hanging around with their smartphones instead of getting active in sports clubs or other social clubs. Experts advise parents not to worry as long as children sleep enough, keep their grades up in school, and keep a few social contacts. The younger generation lives in a different world of endless possibilities and of the fear of committing to one and failing.
