The idiot generation

Life is far too short to spend it with my eyes always looking at a little screen. We have a finate number of days in this earth, and starting today I plan to spend them Facebook free. I will use my phone, iPad, computer etc... For phone calls, FaceTime, research, school snd updates for family and friends. I don't want my son to think that chatting with people through a social media sight is social, because it's not. 

Our generation, and my sons generation are idiots. We are ran by a machine. A tiny little computer, a mere invention made by very smart men. It has enchanced our lives, and it has destroyed us. We rely on technology to get by. Our smart phones have made us the generation of stupid. 

I can't even leave my house without my phone. If I do I feel like I am missing a limb. I can't go an hour without messaging someone or checking facebook. I have missed out on so many moments just because I have been far to busy involved in my "social" life to look up from my phone.

We no longer speak to one another face to face. And when we do, we can't stand to do it for very long. What happened to the girl I used I be? The girl that could be in silence and think. I'm now the girl who uses silence to mess around in my phone. Who am I? I have become apart of the new normal. The new age, I am a slave to my phone. 

I am putting it away. I will still update my blog. And occasionally Instagram. But Facebook is gone. I hope to get rid of my smartphone entirely. But, for now, I do enjoy having it. I live on the opposite side of the country from my family. It is wonderful to be able to use FaceTime to contact them, not just for me, but for archer to be able to see them. He has a relationship with them, and loves them because of technology. That is the part I love. So that is why I am reluctant to get rid of my smart phone completely. 

I'm done having it on all the time though. I want REAL human experiences and interaction, and I want archer to have that too. So here's to breaking out of the idiot generation. Here's to teaching Archer to enjoy people, and the world. Here's to making real memories. 

Until next time....
