Addicted?

Ever feel like a slave to technology? Worried that your teenager spends too much time on-line? Drawing parallels to alcohol or drug addiction, today's Boston Globe has an interesting article about the signs and costs of Internet and computer addiction. Interestingly, yesterday's edition featured a story titled, Why an iPhone could actually be good for your 3-year-old.

Confused by the seemingly mixed messages? Me too. Welcome to parenting in the technological age. Perhaps the real lesson for parents is to beware and be aware.
