I am a bit confused about how I feel towards children and increasing technology and social media. In education classes we are being told more and more to incorporate it, but as a mom I am conflicted as to how I feel about it. Below are a couple of links to some articles. If you get a chance to read any please give opinions and comment. Thanks:)

Hi Melissa – just had a chance to read the articles you linked to. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
The second article about empathy made me think of this article: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/201401/why-is-narcissism-increasing-among-young-americans.
