I gotta agree with this to a point. Technology is great, obviously, in making pretty much everything these days quicker & easier, but it can be a double edged sword. There's something to be said for using a pencil & paper to figure out problems, write in a journal or write a letter, draw, etc. When we rely on computers to do most of the "thinking," a lot of creativity and the thought process to achieve it seem to be lost, and kids sitting all day with their heads stuck in video games can't be good for their creative development. To be creative, there has to be emotion. A lot of the teens I see are desensitized & emotionless. The only thing they get excited about is the due date for the next new game.
