RE: Technology, the future & CRYPTO KIDS...

Completely agree with you, @jaynie! My three grew up in the early days of Facebook, and since they were all homeschooled, being online was pretty much essential to their mental well being...LOL! We actually figured out ways to combine gaming and learning - for example, we had a family guild on World of Warcraft, and were able to monitor and help direct the kids as they chatted with other players, and even had some guildies who looked out for them when we weren't online.

We also had a rule at that time - no text speak allowed. If I caught them saying, "hay can u plz" they were in big trouble! As a result, all three (who are now all adults) can string together perfectly coherent thoughts when communicating online, and regularly send me messages saying, "ty" and "how r u"... 😂
