For a long time I’ve been noticing that our younger generations don’t know how to have relationships with “skin on them.” That is, they are most used to having conversations and relationships with people in 140 characters (Twitter), soundbites (Facebook), or virtually (video games and cyber chats). None of these alone are a problem, and in fact, I could just as easily write a post about the benefits of each of these, because there are some. However, when relationships  with skin are replaced with relationships via electronics, there is cause for concern. There is a great (short) article about the concerns here. I recommend it if you are parenting a teen or have influence in a teens life. Check it out!
