I just had to share this. I was just thinking about the changes that each generation has lived through over the years. Technological advancements have been extensive and at times mind blowing. What does the future hold?

I was having a conversation recently with my son (he was 10 at the time - he has just turned 11). I was discussing with him how, when I was a kid, we didn't have electronic games, computers, ipads, ipods, the internet etc etc - this list is fairly long. A lot of things my children just take for granted.

After pondering this discussion for a moment he then asked "Did you even have electricity????"

Hmmm...first of all, I am not that old!! And second, electricity was not invented for the sole purpose of powering electronic devices! It is interesting the view that children often have of "their world".

Perhaps there is the solution to getting kids off electronics - turn off the electricity!
