“The purpose of life is NOT to find our freedom, but our Master.” P. T. Forsyth
Computers, Iphones, ipads, and social media are only technologies…glass, metal, wires, connections and gadgets…until you place them in your home. In some homes, they become a baby-sitter, for babies of all ages. In other homes, they are a narcotic, an escape from reality. Or it may be a thief, stealing time, thoughts, friendships, creativity, and opportunities for much needed recreation and genuine companionship. In too few homes, they are a servant, providing information, insight, commentary on life, news, laughter, music, and worthwhile entertainment.
What they become, depends on you, the user. If you accept it as a tool, using them sparingly, wisely, and purposely, they can become a servant. If you accept it as a friend, use them continuously, it will become your master. (my edit - David Augsburger)
Is your technology your servant or your master?
Moms, we are reproducing like kind! They watch and copy what is permissible to us…they copy what we do more than what we say. Children need models, not critics. We wonder where the younger generation is headed,,,look where it came from! What we do in moderation, our children will do in excess.
Just saying…
