It can totally kill technology when your kids are too curious about the new gadget in town. If you haven’t been through this yet, here are some samples of what may come in case the little curious one is left unsupervised. You can save the situation by driving the focus somewhere else. Not cheap, but cheaper, however.
Some happier situations would look like this.
And bottom line, we think you should cherish these first moments, when curiosity is still asleep.

I recently stumbled upon a very personal project on Ze Frank. I invite you all to do this little exercise. It’s useful for the memory, the heart and also for the ones around you.
It goes like this:
Think of a path it was known to you as a child. Your way to school, to your grandparents’ house, to the bakery.
Look it up on Google Street View or just picture it in your mind.
Write down any kind of memory or feeling it brings you. Then, take a photo of it and there you go with your new piece of old personal history which may at some point inspire someone.
And that is more or less like a very cool contribution to the world.

Although some say that the internet/the cloud/the web is toxic for kids, others sustain that it could be healthy.
And here you are – another dilemma. What should you do? Is it good? Is it bad? What to choose? How can you find some more time? And so on.
It’s a serious matter. It’s about your kid. And you want to be the best parent ever.
I think that the answer (although it’s not really an answer) is „moderately”. What’s a lot is too much, and what’s a little, it’s missing.
After all, the kid falls, gets up, cries, laughs, hurts, gets over it and so on.
Even if I’m not a parent, I think we should protect him/her „moderately” (a thin line between freedom and control).
But then again, why am I to give advices?
Anyway, I’m going to watch Silly Symphonies again. I can barely wait to show them to my future child.
Good luck to all the parents out there (classical ones, 1.0, bio, 2.0, trendy, retro, 3.0, cool and so on)!
