an app that creates cards

[davc25]

I'm looking for an app that creates card for the Amazon Echo Show so that it'll appear in rotation with all the other cards.  My intention is to leave reminders to the kids to do things around the house.  There's plenty of household message apps and todo apps, but none of them create cards for the rotation.  Have you seen one?

After having listened to a behavior expert talking about kids with "screen brain" i.e. lives filled with electronic screens, texting, etc, I would be inclined to start verbally interacting and nagging them.  It seems in the last 10 years the frontal lobe of young people's brains are altered so they are no longer having "normal" reactions and emotions.  Thus increased detachment and increased violence is happening.  Just me trying to pass on something that may be useful and no criticism meant as I am very guilty of too much electronics in my life and family's life.  It was a wake up moment for me listening to the expert.

Teenager are terminally detached from.,especially their parents and other relatives.  That's what teenagers do.  Having raised kids, we now have grand kids, and there is something special about them relative to being their parents and raising them.. We grand parents can actually watch them go through the stages of growing up since there are no distracts of just plain raising them  Oldest one is 14, and we have seen a marked change in the past couple of years.  The kid is a lot more moody and detached from when he was a "happy-go-lucky, cute little kid"  The second one, three years younger, is starting to show the same signs as his older brother. They just seem as though they are on a different planet sometimes.

Oh, and BTW, there is no such thing as "there is too much electronics" in our lives, but there is surely too much of the wrong kinds and use of electronics in many cases.

I would say indeed there is such a thing as "too much electronics" in general.  In some ways I don't think the type of electronics makes much difference.  I am not a gamer or a youtube addict--just too much time looking at the news online and emailing friends instead of talking to them.  Bad in my books compared to how I used to be before electronics i.e. more time in the garden, more time visiting friends, more time painting pictures, etc. Electronics are too enticing and too socially isolating. I live in a new subdivision and it is almost eerie the lack of seeing people using their yards. Rarely see kids out playing.  Lots of parents rushing the kids to cars to take them to a structured activity such as soccer, home again, and kids or people not to be seen again until morning when they all rush off again.  No kids walking to the school bus without parent escort, no kids running over to the park to kick the ball while supper is cooking.  It is an eerie feeling to me coming from the days of being kicked out to play until you see the lights come on and then go home for supper.

Times have changed, so better get in step or get out of the way, as the saying goes.

I grew up like you did, but that is not today's world.  As for parents escorting their kids to school bus stop, it is a sign of the times.  Too many weirdos out there.  (Probably not, but today's parents think so.)

We have done a good job of crashing the OP's post, So I will refrain from more posts here.
