Oh hey, I just got a message, be right back...
And on and on it goes. I see it happening and I hate it, but it's like a tide pulling me in. I see my daughter succumbing to it as well. She doesn't stand a chance, she's never known a world without technology all around, constantly begging for attention. She doesn't understand why I can't pause live television - we don't have cable, so no DVR.
How do you fight the tide?
My son is young enough that he can't fight it (well, he can, but it's futile) if I just turn everything off and we go outside to play. He loves playing outside anyway, it's more for my benefit than for him. I just hope we can keep doing that. It's going to be a hell of alot harder to get him to turn off his iNeural implant when he's fifteen...
ReplyDeleteOy, true that. :)
