How can I teach my kids balance with tech (screens)?

By Mark Naito

What are the studies showing about finding balance with tech (screens)? What are some ways that I can educate my family on how to find a sustainable lifestyle with tech (screens)? I struggle with my own balance and interested in ways to do this for myself? Did you know the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, said in his 1995 book (before the tech explosion), "VR will certainly be more engrossing than video games have ever been, and more addictive... ...Frankly, I'm not too concerned about the world whiling away its hours on the information highway. At worst, I expect, it will be like playing video games or gambling.

A more serious concern than individual overindulgence is the vulnerability that could result from society's heavy reliance on the highway." In other words forget that technology will (and has) become addictive but the concern is making sure the accessibility to the internet is up 'all' the time is the main concern. Scary!
