The picture below, I found on google. Not sure who took it so I have noone to cite.
"Pundits may be asking if the Internet is bad for our children's mental development, but the better question is whether the form of learning and knowledge-making we are instilling in our children is useful to their future." - Ms. Davidson
Honestly, I think technology is getting out of hand. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't know what to do without my cell phone and computer, but what happened to children going outside, playing, and hanging out with their friends? I have a six year old sister that has been playing the xbox and other game systems since she was like four. She's had a facebook since five. Any day she would choose these game systems over going outside, which I think is crazy.
This picture is an example of children choosing game systems over the outdoors.
