Most people have any number of mobile devices that access the Internet and communicate in ways that Alexander Graham Bell NEVER imagined. To go along with all that new technology, there are many new worries about how the technology is being abused or misused. There are also a lot of people who would swear that all this technology is too much too fast. There are even people who are trying to convince parents to ban the technology from the house.
In 1969 'Sesame Street' refused to admit a common thought, that television was "bad for kids".Instead they created 'Sesame Street', an educational show that has survived as a pioneer of children's programming. Fast forward 40 years later and Pockets of Potential is born.
I love Pockets for Potential for two main reasons. First (and foremost), it looks like it would be a great program. It also shows something that I believe; technology is a good thing and can be used for great things.
If you know any of those parents who are so afraid of technology and the dangers it represents, remind them that if kids are not exposed to the current technology, when they are adults, they will be behind those who grew up with it.
