Sarah Liu's Blogs: 21st century mums, can you raise up children without knowing technology?

In the early 21st century, the main technology being developed is electronics - broadband Internet access, wireless Internet, 3D printing. The approaches to raise up children nowaday are much more different from the time before 20th century when technologies were developed rapidly.

Do you find you have been left behind your children in technology ? What are the most common subjects in your conversations with your children - facebook, online shopping? I did have heard from some of the mums who feel they can not catch up internet technology as fast as their children do.

As a mum in technology, I've found it handy to be able to communicate with the young people with the latest technological terminology. My children started by playing those educational games; now they can find recipes for their cooking, find information for school works & extra curriculum and communicate with their friends online. In secondary schools, they've started learning web design & programming, I'm glad being able to give advise when they got stuck.

Feeling good to discover more & more benefits as a mum in technology in raising up children. Can't say they'll become another Bill Gate of Microsoft, Richard Brandson of Virgin Media, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, or Clara Shih of Hearsay Social, but at least I know my three children will grow up into healthy and proper human beings who are aware of the latest technologies and make their contributions to human societies in 21st century.
