FTW: Intro to Fatherhood in a Technological World
FTW.1 Fathers battling Technology
Your work is cut out for you are a father. Even though popular culture doesn’t do well to herald the value of the leadership role of men in the form of fathers, let me tell you right now, being a father in this time and age has never been more important.
You must become a damage control specialist and a life guide full of tough love, trying to instill character into the new generation that must either lead or be pushed by the tied of a rapidly changing world.
Yes, your role as a father has never been more important and one of the most important callings in the role in the preservation of a free society.
The problem is you’re getting bogged down in technology that is supposed to make life easier, not more difficult. All of a sudden, there is a level of “noise” that is unprecedented in the form of electronic information, not only in the distraction of social-media-ladened personal devices but also the public school system which can become chaotic trying to adopt technology and to modernize teaching methods. The unintended consequences of the mass use of technology in the form of internet access and social media are like a pharmaceutical drug’s not so recognized list of adverse effects.
We are all guinea pigs. As a father you need to fend through all this noise in effort to preserve family integrity and values.
I will share some insights and tips for fathers on dealing with a technology overloaded environment at home. Some of the ideas which I will present have to do with technology directly, and others have to do with just fostering the relationship with your children, and maybe a few tips about how ensuring the vitality of your marriage is part of the integrated solution.
Use what you find that may be helpful and share some of your own insights in my comments.
Tag along for the ride and let’s see if we can cover some common ground.
