Week 3: Free Writing

As a child, I remember spending almost all of my free time outside, or with my family playing some sort of game. Now, when I see children, they have their noses buried in an iPhone, or an electronic tablet of some sort. It's sad to think that this is what our society has come to, to where parents have to beg their children to put their electronics down just to go outside and enjoy some fresh air. What's even worse than that, is seeing a child reach out to their parent, and seeing the parent push them away so that they can answer a phone call or reply to a text message. In a society such as this, you rarely see people spending quality time with each other, and if you do, there always seems to be a cell phone near by. This is why when I have children, I am making sure that they do not grow up this way. I will make sure that they are more infatuated with living their life, than with seeing how many likes they can get on their social media post. That they will actually make memories with the ones that they love, instead of tweeting about it. Altogether, I just want to make sure that they enjoy life as much as I have, without having a phone by them 24/7.
