I never said technology was bad, but tried to make the point that the younger ones are so dependent on these things, they can't get through the day without the phones and gadgets. They want and assume everything will come easily for them, when in life it doesn't work that way. Seems as if parents and schools are trying to accommodate too much. They need to work for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
