Well said and I agree.
This makes me think of some friends we have. We've known them for years and met them when their oldest daughter was around 10 or 11. Her father is a well-known photographer and he completely embraced iphone photography a few years back. Now he forgoes most traditional pics and travels the world taking iphone pictures.
She took that love of tech and became an artist in her own right. She learned how to use that phone to create amazing pictures and that has helped her grow. Maybe if we can teach everyone to use tech to help create and expand their possibilities instead of just using it as a status symbol? I don't know. Like you said, it's tough. But I love talking about it.
That there is an amazing addition to my blog! Such a great idea!
