And to think that I marveled when my best friend told me that her sister's daughter beat all her computer game scores.. At Age 3! Well, well, the future seems to be breeding millions of geniuses. BUT the question would be, if we allowed our kids to be as media-plugged as they are, won't their energies be scattered? won't they have a harder time learning how to focus, when the time comes? </p> <p>Even I and my peers have trouble concentrating on work, with our media-logged age. I was thankful for the time I was devoid of internets, because I was able to rest and live an un-wired life. It was a precious time, now that I look back. </p> <p>Well, a parent has to make hard choices. I think I won't let my kids have cellphones till.. They need it. :) And methinks I may impose media fasts in my future home. I don't think I would like my kids to be as wired as I was. :)</p> <p>Just my two centavos' worth. :)</p> WHOA.
