Tech Junk

With technology growing exponentially, I have to start wondering where the limit will be. A few days ago I had found out that schools are starting to ask parents to buy laptops for their children in an elementary school, while this is kind of old news, it got me thinking.

I understand the need to learn new technology in this day and age, however I think that the parents and the schools need to also teach children about balancing life with technology with this age of obesity which is a problem.  There is a whole amazing world out there, if kids are stuck playing video games or surfing the web, updating facebook status's, tweeting, uploading and watching youtube, twitch, netflix, playing video games with meta game's of achievements, and trophy's, they may not see the point of going outside, going for a hike, or travelling when you have experiences and entertainment at your finger tips.

I realize that as being on the internet with a podcast, blog, and upcoming youtube channel, I seem like a contradiction to what I am saying. But the fact is, I go hiking during the summer have BBQ's with friends, go camping, see live shows, I go to the gym, and travel(when money and time permits).  I look at technology as a hobby, a tool for business and yes once in a while binge watch my favorite show on netflix.

This is a bit of a strange first entry about technology and gadgets, and from here on out it will be alot more about the positive side of technology and the great advances that get announced, and the ways it may better or hinder our lives according to me. None the less I feel this should be said for people to get an idea of who I am and where my opinions on based from.

So stay tuned next week for tech junk!
