Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Round Table.
Coming up, the digital family group chat is in crisis mode.
Now, originally this was a tool for connection,
but now it's just a common sight of friction and it's prompting a silent withdrawal by the younger generation.
But it's not a rejection of family per se, it's just a rejection of the platform's demands.
This triggers something different happening in family relationships,
though perhaps maybe some of the older members of the group not so happy about the exit.
After that, if your Monday needs a kick in the pants, stick around for today's Motivational Monday.

And now, digital family group chats.
Even those words, family group chat.
might induce anxiety in some of our listeners.
Well, they were originally meant to keep relatives in touch, and that's exactly what they do.
But they're increasingly becoming spaces of stress and obligation for members,
the younger members of the family.
Many youngsters are exiting from or neglecting such chat groups.
