International Playdate Day 2024: Date, history and significance

International Playdate Day 2024: Technology has taken over our lives to the point that we try to access everything possible through technology – while this has its own perks of speed and accessibility, it also has robbed us of the joy of going outdoors, getting ourselves dirty, having fun, making offline friends and creating tangible memories of a lifetime. The fun of playing outdoors for kids of this generation is less. They are so neck deep into mobiles, smart TVs and online activities that they no longer visit the outdoors and find happiness within nature.
