My family and I just returned from our summer vacation to New York City and Martha’s Vineyard. I never realized how dependent our children are on their mobile phones until last week.
My son accidentally left his mobile phone at a relative’s house who we had visited. As a result, he was without the ability to text or call the majority of his friends for one week. He was basically cut off from his inner circle. And, needless to say, was not happy about it.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I never thought of communicating with friends while on vacation. Today, our children are dependent on their mobile devices as this is their world … even while on vacation!
