My son is a huge technology lover. At first I thought it was a phase, but now it is starting to become a problem. He wants to be on the computer all the time. I finally went to get.wildblue.com/ and got internet, but I am starting to regret it. I was thinking it would be a good source of information. I was hopeful my son would be able to use it for school. I even thought it would be a good way for him to make friends. Instead, he uses the internet to research new technology updates or read technology chat boards. I have started limiting his computer use and making him go outside to play. When he was little he loved the outdoors, I would have never thought ten years later I would be forcing him to go outside. I was so excited about what the internet could bring to our household, but I am starting to wonder if it was a good decision. I am hoping this is another phase and he will eventually love going outside again.
