Techie Generation

Technology has gone a long way making today's kids a bit drawn to it. 3 year old's can play Fruit Ninja and 15 year old's can generate softwares! But the question is, has it gone a little too far?

While different media connect you to a loved one far away, others are detached by it. Things can be destructive depending on the way you handle them. Remember the times when a family sits together in the dining area, talking about how their day was while eating, and bond a little. Compared to families nowadays, families back then have a strong bond and communication.

People today, especially kids, are drawn towards different media - television, internet/website, phones, books - most of them for recreational use. While they can learn easily using these, it alienates them from their families. People, being practical beings, use instruments for our own sake. Because of this, these 'instruments' - in this sense, media -- reduces the physical distance between family members. They have less communication and bonding because other members of the family are gravitated towards technology. Sometimes, they bond more with people virtually than their family who is with them physically.

And what do this mean for the Filipino family? Have the values and the connection died because of technology? - No, not at all but it caused people to drift apart. They have less time to bond with friends, make adventures, and connect with the family. Thus, bring technology to a low consumption. You don't want to miss what's really happening out there, do you?
