Support Our Future Society

The Upcoming Generation
As a person who loves dealing with children, it is extremely detrimental in our society to hone in on their creativity.  Let me explain why:
  1. They are most impressionable from birth to the age of 18.  This is an opportunity to foster their environment in a positive way.  Educators and parents alike are responsible for this impact.  Also, people like myself who enjoy enriching their lives.
  2. Education is key to their development.  It's in learning numbers, letters, and colors that kick-start their ability to extend their knowledge in other areas such as communication with those around them and expressing themselves in a positive way.
  3. Children are our future society.  They will become our engineers, technologists, educators, and our law enforcement.  The more we teach them, the more they are going to think critically.  Weighing out options and prioritizing are more likely to be their knowledge base.
My favorite part of  expressing opinions and ideas on a blog is the sharing in hopes that we will live in a productive way so that our children and their little ones will be productive and advance the world in a positive way.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.  Namaste.
Best wishes all,
Tyrus

Lost in the Fire

Today's modern culture suggests that we are very busy individuals loaded with a multitude of tasks to complete by 9pm, along with a full time job, social obligations, vacations, to do lists, church, summer camps, etc. While we're busy planning the future, our present moments suffers.

Where and when do we find happiness in all of this?  Is anyone truly satisfied with running around tirelessly and to what end?

 Granted, there is a time and place for everything.  Having said that, is there time every single day to complete all the tasks on our lists?  Could this be a self-imposed busyness, or even a very well marketed technique?

Technology has advanced in so many ways this past decade.  We have went from dial-up Internet and landline telephones, to wireless internet, smartphones, and Bluetooth headsets.  Social media is everywhere and people are constantly inter-connected with a click of a button on their wireless devices.

While all of this has brought about many positive aspects including communication with long distance family members and knowledge unsurpassed by any former media such as libraries and snail mail, there are some drawbacks as well:

1.  People in society are losing interpersonal communication techniques
      (Try speaking to a teenager glued to their iPhone)

2. Some are quick to believe anything seen on the Internet/social media platform
      (Conspiracy theories, more followers on Instagram=more friends?)

3.  Auto correct on devices are inhibiting reading and spelling abilities, especially in youth
       (Computing skills are excellent, until it consumes an entire existance)

I was one of the best spellers in my school.  Autocorrect has slowed down my ability to recall these skills.

Not that all of the above mentioned are bad things. It's just some food for thought. Live in the Moment
