[quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that many parents can't keep up with technology and don't see the distinctions in how it is used. An iPad/iPhone isn't really just a consumption device in the hands of a different age group. Teens and tweens will see it as more of a connection device -facetime, texting etc. Younger kids will see it as more of a creation device as they play interactive games, take pictures and movies, using the drawing tools. Parents will use it as a consumption device-reading email, news, e-books. I don't see much purpose in having a "no technology mindset" and being proud of this. Kids need to understand how to use technology safely and effectively to engage in the modern world and be successful in their future careers. [/quote]
