“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.
