Computer Addiction

This is another article I came across to blog about and it hits very close to home if not in my lap. Clicking on the different links and reading the warning signs, who suffers from it, and a rapidly growing problem for children was very interesting. My daughter loves being on the computer and surfing the internet. If it is not her cell phone is on it is the computer. She is thirteen years old and knows more about the computer than I do. She knows how to download music to her IPOD touch, design things for projects that she has to complete. I was just so looking forward to helping her with her projects but I actually needed her help with certain things. She loves to be on facebook and myspace. She says she would die if she was not able to use the computer or her cell phone. To me this is an addiction because she is saying she cannot live without it. When I was growing up we were playing with baby dolls, making mud pies, and drawing with crayons. This modern age of technology is growing much faster that we can barely keep up with it.
