[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. My kids have iPhones and the ONLY people they communicate with them are their friends that have them. My kids are also very technically savy generally - one has even designed video games and another is adept at programming. All these skill were learned through school or camps. My kids are around adults quite a bit and, thus, they are well mannered and able to talk about many "worldly" things. They look you in the eye and are very engaging. In fact, they get compliments on it. Also, they are athletes. They play plenty of games. So when they "play" on their iPhone, it is mostly waiting for rides or in the car. So I think it is dangerous to generalize that these kids are anti-social, "ADD" geeks. Like anything, parents have to be vigilant in monitoring the use. But I do not think that the technology itself is damning. [/quote]
