Technology is here to stay. That's a fact! I love the benefits of technology. I love how it makes our lives run smoother. It's almost impossible to go without technology in this high pace society we live in. However, I believe we can put up healthy boundaries. In truth, I believe we must.
For me, this need to establish responsible perimeters was crystallized when my family and I took our first RV trip down to Cape Canaveral to visit the Kennedy Space Center. It was a seven-day trip and the best vacation we have ever taken. Among the additional family members we took along with us, was our 15 year-old niece. She’s a very sweet, mild-mannered, and intelligent young lady. But, what a revelation and a glimpse into what may be awaiting us in just a few more years with our own children.
She, literally, kept her head down the entire trip clicking, swiping, liking, typing and searching on her iPhone. Rarely, did she look up and volunteer a conversation. Click, click, swipe, is all I saw. We joked about it. I tried to hide her phone. Newsflash: bad mistake.
