Technology/Parenting: Generation Tech: Where are the Parents?

By | December 27th, 2010|Categories: Parenting, Technology|2 Comments

The march of technology is inevitable and inexorable. We can’t stop it or even slow it down and we definitely can’t reverse it (nor should we want to). As I have noted in a previous post, one of my concerns is that this progress is so rapid that we don’t have time to determine or [...]
