Well – I have gone and done it. I have joined Facebook and now I am a daily checker!!! I love the idea of being able to keep up to date with my children and the rest of my family. It is just great and I even found some of my old friends and distant relatives as well. It has certainly been a blessing. I just love jumping on and seeing what everyone has been up to. But like everything – too much of a good thing is not necessarily good for you.
My children are older now so the impact of me spending a little time on the computer is not really of that much concern – besides I actually must admit that I only allow myself a quick check and then I am off it again just so I don’t get caught up in it!
But I wonder about people who do get caught up in the use of all this modern technology. Unfortunately, the price we pay for this convenience is usually time taken away from our families. How many of us are texting or emailing our friends and ignoring our family members who are close by?
As I am personally so involved in the use of all modern technology and I myself am at fault of over utilising these gadgets, I figured some of you might be too. If that is the case, this is a friendly reminder to you about the only treasures in your life – your kids. So shut down and turn off what ever it is you play with and enjoy your time with them instead. I am going to!
Maybe I will have another quick check after they are all in bed...
