<p>Whilst we cannot police our children from the environment, it is still our moral and parental duty to ensure that they don't forget that "yes" we are children and "yes" we as parents should be able to ensure that they have a balanced child like life. Albeit difficult for some, others do still believe in allowing their children to be "Born free, as free as the wind blows......." </p>

<p>WE cannot police-our children from the environment...we can only guide them to higher values with a greater -carrot- of pleasure. For that they will surpass the harlotry of arrogance displayed by Hollywood and the like....More-so by the industrial military machine utilizing imagery into ignorance of morality...Sad times ahead IF WE the people do not require a stiffer requirement for Integral Education for this next generation..If WE succeed in that,... Then WE will not teach war -no more.</p>

<p>You know what Joao? I agree. And, I completely hold the parents responsible if their children aren't playing outside part of the time. The children in my family probably have every technological device they could ever want, and the expertise to use them. However, their parents encourage them to be outside, be children, enforce time away from phones, tablets, games and computers, and encourage real social skills. We can only hope that more parents are doing this, than we realize. I feel very…</p>

<p>I see the pro's and con's of it. The only sad thing about all this is the fact that children forget to be children. I remember growing up playing in the fields with my friends, fishing etc... (technology back then wasn't so advanced). Now, our kids sit at home on the computer, ipad, mobile phone and any other device that's available. It's sad, because I feel that the aspect of being out in the open playing around with their friends seems to be slipping away from our children. I'm not saying…</p>

It's sad, because I feel that the aspect of being out in the open playing around with their friends seems to be slipping away from our children. I'm not saying all children are this way, but a vast majority certainly devote their life to the sms and other cyber products available. On the other side of the coin, I suppose we can't do without technology, because it makes the world go around. There might need to be a better balancing act on the part of us adults who have children.</p>

<p>It is definitely affecting our children - - building a new super race of intelligence, because they are exposed to technology at every turn, at such young ages. And, I see no problems with this. It's actually pretty awesome. It's the social aspect that scares me. Don't get me started on "texting". I swore I'd never "text". But I do, and it comes in quite handy. But, do I text and drive? Absolutely not! Kids do, non-stop. Adults do too. I get so upset with people driving and texting, scares…</p>

Absolutely not! Kids do, non-stop. Adults do too. I get so upset with people driving and texting, scares me to death. I never see it getting better. So many people die from wrecks caused by this technology.</p>
<p>Now, what about online Socializing? Some kids today are becoming completely devoid of normal human emotion, in their comatose states, being practically unaware that a "real" World exists around them, don't even get me started. We're raising a generation of socially retarded, desensitized, potential monsters. I'm not saying all kids, but a great majority. And most of it, isn't their fault. That's what's sad. They don't know any different.</p>
<p>Just my thoughts,</p>
