I was sitting at a restaurant the other day waiting to meet a friend for dinner. I noticed a mother and her two children walking in. The mother was walking next to her daughter, who was about seven years old, and her son, who was approximately nine to ten years old, was trailing slowly behind "hooked-up" to his portable music player looking as though he was in his own "little world". I realize that in today's world, for many children, that is the norm. That's exactly my concern.  If we have an upcoming generation that has grown up in their "own little techno world" what will their communication skills be as they develop into young adults and the future of our workforce?  I'm very concerned, are you?
