I must say this doesnt seem to be a question thought about often. Our young people always seem to have an electronic device in their hands, whether it a mobile phone, ipad or game console.
I often wonder what will happen if our technoloy breaks down and we actually have to talk to each other??? Being almost 50 years old I am worried about what effect technology will have on my grand childrens ability to converse.
How would our young people manage to share their everyday life with their friends without Facebook or youTube? Sometimes I think the “olden days” were easier, we had to walk or phone our friends, we were outside 80% of the day. I think our parents were aware of the dangers young people faced.
But today with new technology parents have the extra worry of Cyber Bullying.
