What can a Mother’s Day conversation teach us about the future of technology?

In this special episode of Channel Mic Check, Jessica McDowell and Calhoun McKinney are joined by Jessica’s daughter, August, for a candid conversation about growing up in a world shaped by AI, digital learning, smart devices, and constant connectivity.

From Chromebooks in the classroom and AI-powered homework tools to screen time debates, social media, and the evolving role of technology at home, the episode offers a unique multigenerational perspective on how younger generations are interacting with technology differently than ever before.

The conversation also explores the balance between innovation and human connection, highlighting why creativity, boundaries, and people-first thinking still matter in an increasingly digital world.

Tune in for a thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly honest discussion about parenting, technology, AI, and what the next generation really thinks about the future.
