It’s a “day in the life” of the digital generation. Do you identify with any of these?

Digital certainly dominates! Schools are having to set up rules and guidelines about the usage of cell phones. Interesting stats, Michelle. Thanks!

Yeah, I was pretty surprised, even though I know I never see anyone younger than me without their smartphone or computer… :)

Michelle,
Oh my gosh! I see this stuff all the time.
We recently went on vacation for a few days and did not have any phone access. Some of the group went into terrible withdrawls. My nephew stayed at our house and freaked out when he found out my wifi was down.

I’d go a bit bonkers without internet access for more than a day. Probably a sign I should disconnect a bit more often. lol
Michelle Shaeffer recently posted… Surfing Into the Weekend (Cool Links)
I was away that evening, my teen daughter was home alone, her mobile in bad shape after a little bicycle accident and my PC locked away from her (hehe!). At first she didn’t know what to do, how to spend an evening without being connected. After a while, she called me: “Mom, how can I model clay, when it is so hard?” She had gone through the drawers and found a self-hardening clay I’d bought a few years ago and never used – I gave her instructions and when I got back I found a little handicraft drying on the kitchen counter. My point is, take away computers for a while and, after the initial withdrawal symptoms, kids will seek to channel their energy into other things. Just, don’t be afraid they will get mad at you. They will – but you don’t care. :))

Great point, Helenee. We do need to be sure we’re encouraging our children to use their imaginations and channel that amazing energy into things other than digital devices and the internet.

LOL Yes, it can be a little #sad the human interaction we miss out on. Gotta keep that in mind and remember to disconnect once in a while. :)
