When does our addiction to tech and our need to stay connected go too far? When your kids grow to resent your actions.

The Wall Street Journal recently profiled children of parents who own BlackBerrys and other devices (such as Treos). These kids feel neglected and put-off by their parents who are constantly emailing and text messaging their co-workers. One young child flushed his Mom’s crackberry down the toilet! Classic.

Even though we love tech, sometimes it’s best to put off the fascination and enjoy the rest of our lives! Do it for the children!
