Technological whiz kids

I find my self watching the kids at school and my own here at home. What I had taken for granted before is now awe inspiring. I know everyone says that technology is taking away from our kids. Yes that could be true if we let but I see lots of kids still playing in the snow and skateing on an impromptu rink and talking my ear off at school or here at home at the supper table. So lets give technology a break, it amazes me to see my 4 yr. old daugter who wouldn't put her socks on by herself a few months ago, now gets dressed and can us the dvd player as well as navigate through her favorite website. She is becoming more independent and even though my mommy heart doesn't want it I am very proud of her. My son loved technology right from the start and has mastered quite abit on the computer and sometimes I think he doesn't listen
but informed me of internet safety and what not to do when I asked him about it. My students at school are talking with other schools across the world and getting to experience a whole other way of life. I never thought that much about it before, I knew it could be done and I knew they could do it but now looking at it through new eyes gives a whole new appreciation for technology.
So I guess the next time you can't do something with technology ask the kids no matter how old, you just might be surprised.
