High School

The article written by Landon Gilbert

When I was in high school the only technology you needed to know about was Atari and that was a big jump if you were totally NOT into video games like me! Nowadays the kids all have to have smartphones and wireless internet and the direct tv tuscaloosa…I just don’t understand where we got so far away from having actual conversations with one another. I really miss sitting down at the dinner table and having a good long chat with my family because every night someone’s on the phone or texting or watching something on TV and no, honey, watching Jeopardy while we eat does not count as doing something educational! I love being a mom but I feel like it’s harder now in the digital age than it ever was before. There’s something missing from the way we communicate with each other and I wish everyone as a whole would realize it before there’s no turning back from this, you know? We’ve totally let technology take over our lives.
