To Text or not to Text...

Technology is constantly advancing in our day and age. It seems that something new and better is coming out everyday. With this people are spending time and money learning and playing with their newest toy. While technology has improved life in many different ways, it has also created problems in our world today.
To often I have seen people trying to carrying on three conversations at once using their phone, and computer. Conversation are held more and more over text or facebook. In doing this emotions and not seen or shown and people learn only how to communicate over technology and not face to face. The overuse of technology can be overcome. Here are some ideas:

• Decide to have a family focus rather then technology focus
• Have a no technology Dinner. (Leave the phones and ipods in a box in the kitchen)
• Set a crew few for technology. 
• Set aside time to go and do something with family that does not involve technology. 

Again technology is not completely bad. It allows us to communicate easier, and connect to people all around the world. The most important thing is to not have technology focused life but have a family centered life.
