Youths spend an average of 7.5 hours a day... by Encarnacion Pyle explains that there are positives and negatives with technology. As with all extra-curricular activities, moderation is the key. Multi-tasking is a positive, however, obesity is not.
I am worried about obesity, bullying and of unhealthy personal relationships with our young adults. When I hear young couples talk to each other, I think, they are rude to one another. Maybe they are, or not. I don't want them to talk to me in that manner. My sister deleted a younger cousin and his fiance from her Facebook page due to their language toward one another. And, they wanted to know why she did it. They have no clue of their rude language.
Lower grades, depression and addictive behavior are also major concerns of mine. I am not a fan of technology primarily due to young people thinking that every thing comes to them in an instant- instant gratification.

I love that the First Lady is tackling childhood obesity as a core issue. I think that is great and will have a lasting impact. Have you heard of cyber bullying? Kids get suspended now if they send threatening texts or messaged online. I heard of a 4th grader today that got suspended for getting into a text "fight" with another kid. Ugh.
