Daily Struggles

Nowadays children everywhere are exposed to technology  the World Wide Web as we know it can have an impact on our children. They can almost do what an adult can do when they are exposed to this technological world, I have a grandson who is 18 mths old who can access his dads phone , unlock it with his little finger ,pulls up the menu , hits the gallery button and swipes through them and picks the ones he wants to look at ,

I would have no idea how that phone worked had he not showed me I was just amazed he knew all that just by watching his dad do it and remember how it was done .

Even kids at age 4,5,6 or getting the advanced learning faster then when I was growing up , we had to read our books word for word , we had to write our letters on paper , we got our knowledge by talking to the teachers or our parents are just learning on our own or by seeing somebody else do it .

Technology for children are easy they can go to the computer & access read along books , show & tell how the letters are made and words are spelled out and they find information to anything they may want to ask , An adult may not have an answer but if you look it up on the internet We’ll it’s all there and easy to get , children are getting smarter faster and learning is just way to easy and without an adult having to explain it and talking with them .

But in this time of life for kids the internet can be harmful & dangerous , predators are out there that are not kid friendly , and they also use the internet for evil uses againist children , men and women and young adults , Just about every kid you see over the age of 10 have cell phones with internet , they can text there friends ,there parents , there teachers .

The ones that our teaching the kids want them to learn for the future so that knowledge will be in there mind and they can share that with the ones that don’t know they are still lots of people who have no clue how the internet works are how to turn it on , But hey let a 6yr old show you cause they are pretty smart .

Children know icons and symbols and they are eager to learn ,when they have a good teacher .

    Kids are learning faster & easier , I really hope I am around 25yrs from now and see what the kids of today have in store for the future , I remember when they talked about flying cars , robots taking over , and how all that we do will be controlled by a space age era and computers will run our daily lives .

We’ll that time has come and so much more is out there , Robots have been made to help people , equipment that is ran by the internet  has been made to control machines by just hitting some buttons  and it knows what to do without  it being trained , so much as come in the last 20 yrs , I can go on & on , about this technology …….Like they say If you want more knowledge you can find it on the INTERNET …..it’s out there . If not let a child help you , I learned how to use a IPHONE just cause my grandson showed me !!

I have a little  91′Honda Civic that I bought 2yrs ago 5spd 4dr , I like this little car it’s good on gas and really hasn’t had to much mechanical issues with it , It has no A/C but the windows come down . but the last 6mths it has gave me a few problems .

The battery finally went completely dead and we got a new one , Then the clutch thingy went out that controls how the car starts . after that a couple mths later the car died again and wouldn’t start , so we had to get the fuel pump replaced and the fuel filter replaced and the fuel injectors cleaned , So now we were down to just one car , My husband had been taking me to work and dropping me off and I would have a co-worker take me home afterwards , so finally it was fixed, Then after a few hundred dollars later  and a couple weeks went by ,It was ready . I brought it home I noticed it kept wanting to die as I came to a stop , It was running good so I just parked it till the next morning and the next day I was gonna run some errands and got to the grocery store and went back to start my car and it DIDN’T want to start , SO I was just frustrated at this point and called the mechanic and told him my car want start” HELP !!” so my husband had a friend come get me and the mechanic said I will come get it and see what the problem is .

Later that day I had to run to Dallas to drop off some documents to my daughter so I rushed to dallas & back , when I got home I was just disquisted with the fact that my little car just not have it in her to go anymore , So when I got home , my little car was here in the drive way .

I was excited to see it here and that it was nothing major wrong with it  and it was fixed again …….when I came inside  my husband said Guess what ? he told me I said what ? Your were  out of gas !

I didn’t think to put gas in it I felt really stupid at that point so when I drove my car today It ran just fine and smooth ..

My Honda Civic has a few more miles to go yet , But I love my little car !! I am happy to have it back to normal so far !!
