Here is a couple of cute cartoons I found that helps sum up what we have learned in this class.

The first cartoon shows how family life has changed with technology. Watch the dog. I like how at first he's eating along with the family and then his bowl changes to an automatic feeder and then he changes to a toy robot dog. The big homemade meals turns to pizza out of a box. I do believe some families have let technology take over their family life. What do you do with your family?

The second cartoon shows how everyone is so focused on computers and socializing with technology. When it is taken away do you know what to do? I urge everyone to have a family night without technology. Shut off the TV, pull out the cards or board games and enjoy old fashioned conversation with your family.

I love your last sentence. I am all for using technology proactively, but it should never REPLACE physical human social interaction--especially with one's family. Nice cartoons, too. =)

Great cartoons. I agree that although technology is something that is great for us in general, it is something that we cannot rely on all the time. Families do need to get together for something other than technology.

I agree with Mike, I love your closing statement. We must continue to interact on a human level. I refuse to buy Gameboys for the kids and the Wii is only played on an occasional weekend. We like a good old fashion game night with cards, Boggle, or Sorry.
