RE: An unnatural child

in #thoughts7 years ago

I agree we're not using all this technology to its full potential, not nearly. We're mostly taking all the bad brainwashing things and almost none of the good. It's a shame really... Technology and the internet itself are amazing ideas, I think, all this knowledge literally a click away. It has immeasurable potential for children, when used right. Same for parents and anyone else really. But of course, we choose to use it wrong.

As for the quiet child being up to no good, I guess it depends on the age we're talking here. I mean yeah, I guess a toddler who is quiet is probably ingesting glue or something like that, but kids a bit older (5-6 ish) can be quiet and be doing nothing wrong. That might just be the way they work, I think...

But I agree about sitting still, for kids, at least and with a lot of the points you make. Often, I wish I could stand more still. Being able to sit still does become a good thing later on though, if you constantly feel the need to be doing something and keep busy, it's a sign something is bothering you.

the results are already being seen.

Sadly.

Indeed but, how much of it can be utilized by a one or two year old? Perhaps exposing them early will make them into technological superheroes.. So far the teenagers I have met aren't overly impressive :D

Yeah it does and the child too.

No, for such a small child, probably not :)

That's because they're using it wrong :D
