As long as I can flip the off button on him..

Kids see the highly-edited, only-glamorous lives of others online and feel anxious and depressed that their own lives don't measure up

It hasn't done much for the physical development either. Kids do not know what it is like to get the kids on the street together and play a game or just be together anymore.

I was a late adopter of tech. I didn't get my first cell phone until 2010. While I find the device useful, I also despise it. Look around in any public place and a lot of people are focussed on a little screen and oblivious to what is going on around them. I keep my phone on "silent" at all times because I don't want the blasted thing to take over my life. So far so good, but I still feel a certain nostalgia for the good old days before cell phones.

To this day, I absolutely refuse to speak to an answering system. I feel like I'm talking to a toddler.

I can believe that. I'm beginning to question how it has effected me since l have been on this site. I joined in Feb and it is my only experience on social media. On Facebook, l don't really use it for anything other than keeping up with the local happenings and a handful of friends.
