Kids and Technology

Is it me or is every kid I see playing with some kind of electronic gadget at all times of the day. I either see them texting on a cell phone, playing with a portable gaming system, or fidgeting with an iPod. Prime examples are my nieces and nephew. When I'm at a family gathering either with my side or PD's one of them has one of the above mentioned devices. My nephew, Xanderman, constantly is playing with his Gameboy instead of interacting with everyone else. When I was a kid I didn't have that. I actually played games with my cousins. We played tag or baseball or something where we got some sort of exercise. Kids now don't get out and just play. There are kids on skateboards that get some exercise but they are still texting. I applaud modern technology. I just think that there should be limits.
'nuff said.

Limits I guess are in order... Our kids are "limited" and banned when they don't do what they are told (or have bad grades). I honestly think alot of computer time makes "anyone" more perceptive (simply browsing even), but they still need to be on "task" at school.. and do more then just computers.

I am total agreement. There has to be limits. My kids have some of these electronic things, but their not allowed to bring them or use them everywhere. I am big into family interaction and feel like I'm fighting a loosing battle sometimes...sigh... good post
