There's so many times I would like to tell him something, and cannot, but I admire his desire to stay disconnected as long as possible. <BR/><BR/>My daughter lives and dies by hers. I think maybe text messaging is a necessity in the age of divorce.Kevin Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788817477327510023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1144621417884926242006-04-09T18:23:00.000-04:002006-04-09T18:23:00.000-04:00There is so much to say about this, but I have had...There is so much to say about this, but I have had the same email account for 15 years. <BR/><BR/>People were skeptical about email, but AOL did change the way we communciate.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for me, other than a cell-phone and a cable-modem. My advancement in technology has been quite stilted. <BR/><BR/>I had a portable CD player but it was pretty short-lived. <BR/><BR/>None-the-less, these devices have changed everything in our society. Much of it comes down to what we are willing to put up with. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe I am even considereing getting my daughter a cell phone, yet here we are and I may be considered a 'bad parent' if I don't.<BR/><BR/>Society drives this, and growing company's, with their quest for 'efficiency', fuel it. Isn't ironic that they have found their workers so much less productive.<BR/><BR/>-DougDougALughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335959723414264767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1144465233298093002006-04-07T23:00:00.000-04:002006-04-07T23:00:00.000-04:00Talked with my son about this.

"You" are not important enough to call "Me" away from my cellphone, etc. <BR/><BR/>Distraction is now a status symbol. <BR/><BR/><I>When I walk (Or like when I use to run) I wanted no music or talking just me and God.</I><BR/><BR/>Amen, Milly. <BR/><BR/><I>As for multi tasking moms have to our they will take over!</I><BR/><BR/>You know, though, it is more than that. I did the Mr. Mom thing when my kids were 1 and 3. It was cool. I enjoyed it, and I'm glad I did it, but I never could watch both of them and do something else. <BR/><BR/>You're right. They took over. <BR/><BR/>Well, not exactly. I always kept control, but we have a picture of my son at age 1 with scabs all over his head from where he fell down our porch stairs repeatedly. :8(<BR/><BR/>I succeeded in many ways, but I failed in a few key ones.Kevin Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788817477327510023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1144455517040290752006-04-07T20:18:00.000-04:002006-04-07T20:18:00.000-04:00I don't own anything more than a computer and cell...I don't own anything more than a computer and cell phone. My phone at times drives my nuts. I try to pull over when I need to make a call or receive one, when I can. (Not nearly enough) The Mp3 and iPod? Do I need constant blather? My brother can read, talk, and watch television at the same time. I just don’t have that kind of commitment to my brain cells. <BR/><BR/>I agree these techno things take away from what we should be focusing on God and each other. I love my computer time with Bible study and views on God. I don’t play cards often. (Partially because they say they are experts, they aren’t) I know that I could easily become addicted.<BR/><BR/>I once, while conducting a meeting noticed a member of the group playing cards on his lap top. People were talking, while he was disrespecting us. I know that had I whipped out a deck of cards and started playing while he was speaking he would have been enraged.. How rude we are when we go to a check out lane on one of those things stuck in our ears.<BR/><BR/>When I walk (Or like when I use to run) I wanted no music or talking just me and God. We can always work it out when we are alone with all of my attention. I also enjoy walking with my husband just us one-on-one. <BR/><BR/>As for multi tasking moms have to our they will take over!Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.com
