Does Technology Hurt?

Will libraries be obsolete in the near future???

Yes, unless they turn them into more than libraries. They can't survive on books alone. Throwing a coffee shop inside wouldn't hurt either.

I hope not, my wife directly interfaces with libraries.

I still don't see the need for my daughter to have a cell until she's older. I will always know who she is with at all times and I will have their numbers, should I need to reach them. I stand firm on waiting until she is much older and able to babysit or whatever to help pay for it.

I see no reason to put her on computers in these early, early years. I will allow her on them, while I or her dad sit with her later on. And she will never be allowed unsupervised access. I want her outside playing and enjoying that.

No way. One would assume that newspapers would be a thing of the past but I get bundles of that stuff all the time. The library here is constantly recycling things that are outdated and getting new stuff in.

Hey, my goal is to have an active child, not a coach potato.

We do let our daughters watch TV but only a limited amount. I don't think there is anything wrong with them watching cartoons or what have you. I think they get maybe an hour a day but that's about it unless we are watching a movie as a family.
