“Quote of the Day” – Handwriting Practise
In today’s quote, Greta Thunberg is commenting on how social media and our digital devices can change the way we live, and not in a good way. She is saying that the real world where real things happen; important things, is not on our screens. It is easy to forget this sometimes. Think about the quote from Confucius. Do you think he would agree with Greta? Is liking something on social media the same as actually doing something?
