A thought regarding the argument that iPads encourage anti-social behavior:<p>Many of us here were introduced to this immersive technology as mature adults &amp; don&#x27;t know how to balance this technology with the demands of humanity (namely, proper social communication). Give me an iPad, and I&#x27;ll find a way to watch stupid videos and avoid productivity (that&#x27;s why I don&#x27;t have one). Or send me a text and I&#x27;ll make my best effort at checking it ASAP, even if that means losing focus on a real conversation for a few moments.<p>BUT: humans have an innate need to communicate. It&#x27;s not a generational thing--it&#x27;s a human thing. Kids aren&#x27;t going to forget they need to make quality bonds with the people in their lives. They&#x27;ll still do it. And I bet these kids growing up now will be able to achieve this balance between man and machine better than us.<p>I predict: it&#x27;s not technology we&#x27;re going to learn from our kids--it&#x27;s how to truly live well with it.
