I thank you for bringing light to an important topic. I was born in the 70's so I remember a time before computers. My three kids now spend a lot of time in front of a screen and here I am in front of a screen. As a parent we try to limit the time to two hours a day and we use screen time as leverage to ensure good behaviour e.g. if you behave badly then no screens for you. It is worrying however how technology has interfered with our social skills. I have little doubt that in the near future people will remain plugged into a virtual world where they'll have women, action, super powers etc and they wont want to leave. Kinda sad but I can see it coming. I feel it is important more than ever to bring your children into nature and make this physical reality the primary reality.

These are good limits to set for your kids. I also think as adults we need to start setting them for ourselves. Lately I've been trying to attack my online tasks and check them off as quickly as possible freeing up for time in the day to actually live and really be in the real world! Sometimes technology can get us all mixed up as to where we are and what we should really try to be enjoying! Nature is great folks!
