Most kids today have no clue what a typewriter is. Most have never seen a rotary telephone. Some may have seen examples of that ancient technology known as the VCR, but probably only in their grandparent’s attic or garage. Our kids may read more printed books than electronic ones, but that very well could change in the future. Perhaps it is worthwhile to make sure that our children know that there is value in books that can’t be found online.

Like a lot of parents, I suspect, I try to curtail my use of obscenities when the kids are around. I’m not always successful, but I do try. It’s not that I think that hearing certain words will somehow turn them evil; it’s that I’d just as soon my kids weren’t introduced to such language and such a young age. I’m not going to completely shield them from rough language, but I’ll do my best to avoid adding to what they do encounter. Especially since, in the future, they may be encountering swearing somewhere they hadn’t previously: on television.
