Parenting: When Technology Can be both Good and Bad
Have you seen this commercial on youtube called ‘Disconnect to Connect’?
If you haven’t, just click HERE to watch it.
If you have seen it, well … you can always watch it again if you want, since I really feel every one of us has such strong tendencies to disconnect with those around us, simply because we have this thing called TECHNOLOGY in our hands.
Well. I personally LOVE this commercial.
Because it strongly reminds me of what I should NOT be doing often too (ie. neglecting my loved ones who’re NEXT TO ME, because I simply have the urge to check or surf the internet again and again!)
Anyway.
I’d like to share with you one possible way of using technology to BOND with our loved ones.
I quickly took this shot of Daddy and the two kids, when the three of them had fun with his iphone.
You see, Daddy usually does his story-telling when the bedroom lights are out, and the kids are all in their pyjamas.
But this time round, he showed them a comic strip on his iphone, and both kids all cuddled up and listened to Daddy lively re-telling the story. He flipped the ‘pages’ on his iphone as he went on, as both kids looked at Daddy AND the pictures on the iphone at the same time!
A great way to make a POSITIVE use of our technology, I reckon.
