Demise of Guys Because of Technology?

Gregg over at My Job Chart shared an article about the book The Demise of Guys and the alarming trends about guys and technology. It’s quite sobering when you think about it. Like Gregg, we have four boys to raise and we want to raise them to be responsible adults, not game junkies.

Demise of Guys Endorsement

We’ve used media to motivate our boys to work, they seem to need more motivation than our girls ever did. Either that or else our memories are very poor! But we limit the amount of time we give them on the computer, games and watching movies.

One of the many reasons we moved to the country was to create more work for our children…say what?! I can hear some of you screaming, but it’s true. We want our children to know how to work hard, be responsible and be high functioning adults. Not lazy, not gamers etc. but able to provide for a future family. After all God made work and regardless of what many may think work is good. Just look at where He put Adam and Eve after he created the, in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

Take a good look at this infographic…

Heads Up on being Heads Down

    Wow, 1 in 3 young men? That stat alone is staggering.

    My son is only 6 but he is one of the few boys his age who has no idea how to use the computer. TV and video games are all previewed first and then time limited. Hopefully those are small steps in the right direction.

    I truly believe that all these violent games are at least one of the causes of young men having these violent snaps we see in the news each week.

    I think it is true, boys today are getting way too wrapped up in technology.
