Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879. He was certainly a genius! Even foreseeing that technology may overtake ‘common sense’.

Wouldn’t we all rather see this little one engrossed in a book?
What do you do about over-use of technology both in the workplace, school or home?
We can all make a difference in any environment by:
- Setting sensible and fair boundaries. Eg. use devices only during breaks, and no texting at meal times.
- At home, encourage other activities. Visit a ‘game’ store and discover the new board games that are available now!
- Find ways to show your family that it’s not a ‘parent’ thing, but rather social behavior that has got out of hand.
MEET THE MAN WHO SAID:
“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” Albert Einstein
Whilst we do not agree of course with every word Einstein said, it does provoke thoughts about how technology interferes with some social aspects of our lives. We need to embrace our relationships without mobile phones constantly interrupting!
For teachers and parents:
CLASS DISCUSSION:
- Once you have gone through this article, open up discussions about how we can help each other to be more responsible with the use of technology, but in particular, mobile phone use.
- Ask them to be honest – what would they do if they had children of their own?
- Have the class make suggestions on large posters and place around the room.
