Let's talk about technology....
It's everywhere, all around us everyday,all day. When I was in my teens the latest greatest thing was pagers or "beepers".
Now people don't know how to live without there smartphone, so they can tweet,blog, or share on Facebook,Pinterest,Tumbler or Myspace.
We have children sitting less then ten feet from each other texting each other instead of speaking.
Relatives don't speak to each other they e-mail or text or facebook.

You seem them on the street all the time, Walking with their heads down staring at their phones texting as the walk. They are oblivious to their surroundings. We as a society have become slaves to the electronic era.

We share our location,our relationships, our meals and our every thought with the world without even a thought about who will end up seeing it.
You think this info only goes to your friends list but what about their friends list? What about hackers? It is so easy to "hack" a Facebook page that my 11yo daughter can do it!

Speaking of technology and children...
More and more children are being diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, and ADD these days than I can count. I theorize that the cause of this is technology.
Children spend entirely too much time on the internet, in front of television, or playing video games and not enough time playing outside.
They are desensitized at an early age to things like sex, violence and governmental censorship.
Then we dope them up on Ritalin and Adderall turning them in to zombies or worse, they become homicidal or suicidal.
Childhood obesity is rampant.

The more technologically advanced we become the more we become dependent upon it, and that furthers our enslavement.
We need to unplug, put the cell phone down, get off of the internet.
You will survive without it I promise! Get outside with your children.
Go for a walk and talk to them.....
Just my $0.02
