We don’t want to get into the real serious issues or politics. There are places for those topics. We want to be that place you can escape to, kick off your boots and read a great article or listen to some Country music. That being said, has technology become the new addiction? When at a restaurant does everyone sit there talking or are they all on a phone texting, playing a game, watching a video or searching for something? Modern day technology I limit my time with and use of. If I can, I leave my cell phone in the truck when I go inside a business. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat we use for business, but personally, I visit infrequently. Maybe more people will find out what many in Silicon Valley have decided to do with their kids. The chief technology officer of eBay sends his children to a nine classroom school. So do employees of giants like Google, Apple, Yahoo and Hewlett-Packard. But the school’s chief teaching tools are anything but high-tech: pens and paper, knitting needles and, occasionally, mud. Not a computer to be found. No screens at all. They are not allowed in the classroom and the school even frowns on their use at home. Do you limit your kids and yourself to time on the screen?
