Unfortunately, technology has taken over a lot of children's lives as well. I'm sure many on the forums remember playing sports with local kids after school or exploring down by the local creek or riding their bikes to the other side of the neighbourhood ect. There's a ravine and a creek down the back of the neighbourhood here with bike paths and trails for people to use, yet the only people I see on it are generally older hikers or cyclists...rarely any kids. This area would have been THE place to play when I was a child, but it would seem Xbox is much more fun, or texting instead of riding a bike to a friends house and playing street hockey or baseball.


Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
