My Anti Media Moment

I am a huge advocate of TECHNOLOGY. Everything screen, convenience and bright colors is wonderful to me. However, as much as I love technology I also think it's important to have times without it.

This Sunday was one of those moments. 

My whole family gets together on Sunday and we eat dinner and usually end up watching a movie or playing on the wii afterwards. But right after dinner I was playing my guitar for a second and my four year old nephew wanted to help strum my guitar. Then a little bit later he wanted to sing a song. So he started feeding me lyrics about him fighting a monster and my sister and I would sing them as he danced around(which was more kicking and rolling around.) We ended up doing that for almost an hour, or until I felt like my finger were going to fall off. It was a really happy and fun moment with my nephew and I think it was more rewarding than any tv show or game we would've played together.
I also came to find out this week that Steve Jobs former CEO of Apple, didn't like his kids using a lot of technology, they didn't have ipods, and he didn't let them use phones for hardly anything. I found it interesting that one of the kings of technology was so aware of the bad effects it can have on kids.
