Growing up digital

<p>I really like technology because its pretty helpful in general. But yesterday I screamed “I hate technology!” because I just get exposed to too much and become depressed. In addition, some things on the Internet often offend me or scare me.
A few days ago, I was in the toys section of Target, which I hadn’t visited for a couple of years. I was very surprised to see so many “toys” as extension packs for apps on the iPod and iPad. There were other talking plushies and motion-sensing gadgets. An image of a toddler swiping his or her fingers across a screen felt rather queer to me - what do you guys think? I don’t welcome the idea that children should be pulled into technology at such a young age, but I guess it might just be inevitable in this generation.</p>
