An Open Letter to My Boys regarding Technology (and their use of it)
from author Charles Martin @storiedcareer
“Based on our not-so-positive experience with technology, and the resulting potholes and speedbumps experienced at the intersection of Father’s Way North and Son’s Trail South, I thought it healthy to put some rules in place -- and in writing -- and then nail them to the door. If you object, roll your eyes, and state that I can’t change the rules of the game once its started, please see rule #1.”
