"It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phone..." — Sherry Turkle

There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!

Technology challenges us to assert our human values, which means that first of all, we have to figure out what they are.

Technology doesn't just do things for us. It does things to us, changing not just what we do but who we are.

Face-to-face conversation unfolds slowly. It teaches patience.
