The report was centered around the idea that we need to find a balance between productivity and distraction with technology. To be honest, I get scared thinking about future generations and how much of the world they might miss out on because of technology. The digital age is becoming a paradox. As more efficient technology comes out, we are getting less efficient and more distracted. I hope that we can keep the next generations from getting even more distracted as new technology becomes available. What are some things that can be done to prevent them from getting too distracted?Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000472181577099398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368688782780384572.post-17732681283607808622011-09-18T21:59:06.963-07:002011-09-18T21:59:06.963-07:00I bet kids will be messing around with intergalact...I bet kids will be messing around with intergalactical internet. Same premise only much more complicated! They will have jet packs and robots that teach them stuff in the most scientifically proven, successful way. Probably different depending on each childs needs. Our kids may grow up playing with each other through 4d rooms that make real life visits unnecessary. Oh I have more. But Ill save it for class!

A month or two ago I was visiting my aunt (my mom's younest sister) who has 3 younger kids and I could not believe the things that her oldest daughter (12 i think)was doing. She has a Facebook with more fake friends than I ever dreamed of and knows way too much about who all the celebrities are dating and all the other things that they are up to. I couldn't believe my aunt just let her be on the computer so unrestricted like that... to me that is stuff no 12 year old needs to be concerned about.... <br /><br />As for explaining to a 7 year old how stupid they are making themselves look its probably like explaining most things to kids...

HOW CAN I EXPLAIN TO A SEVEN YEAR OLD THAT SHE IS MAKING HERSELF LOOK STUPID?! I think the world of social media starting with myspace for myself, has absolutely ruined the way we speak and think. Now, I know that I'm overreacting, but there's a hint of truth. I don't think people would've put so much information about themselves online had it not been for social media. Sorry, I will stop ranting now. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614227107655901336noreply@blogger.com
