Humans are social creatures. We are in constant need to communicate and socialize with each other. Lately however, I've seen changes in how children are interacting with people - they're actually interacting less.
Just look around you when you're in a restaurant or even at your home. Kids from all ages are exposed to gadgets and they interact only with these devices with all focus. Parents today are too dependent on electronic devices to distract their kids and keep them calm and controlled during meals.
It's just so sad that we don't talk to our kids anymore. Kids at their age need to communicate and know how to make connections. If we want to help our kids to have a better future, then we have to talk to them and not let them spend more time on these devices.
I've seen posts and emails concerning a quote purportedly made by Albert Einstein entitled, "The day that Albert Einstein feared may have finally arrived". The quote states:
"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."
Whether it's made by Einstein or not, it has some truth to it. We have been warned, whether it's from a genius or from someone else.
