  • Electronics were created to make life easier. Instead, they’ve become time-consuming beasts gobbling up any extra moment in our day. Since unplugging, the kids are doing even better in school. Books are seen in the hands of my kids now, and their test scores are soaring. Have I mentioned the greatest advantage? Our home is a sanctuary from the storms of the world. Peace reigns once again.

    As the matriarch of our home it wasn't long before I realized I was plugged in a lot, and when I looked around, it was clear I had little constraint with plugged in things. We were battling a fire-spitting media-dragon-our television. When I stopped to think about it, there were days I gave more of my undivided attention to it than any of my four children combined. It was my daily drug of choice, taking me to far-away places, allowing me to peek inside homes I prayed were more dysfunctional than ours, and taught me more about great white sharks than I cared to admit. Yes, I loved my TV. I couldn't imagine living without it.

      common sense? legal/ethical boundaries?
    • Jonathan Lederman
       
      may not be common sense if an individual doesn't realize their message is public. For example, if I think i'm sending a private message on Facebook to an individual who legally/ethically should be the recipient, and it ends up on their public wall, that may be a misunderstanding of how Facebook works. The message composer understands that the message is supposed to be private (whether it be by common sense or professional training), but doesn't understand how the communicative transmission works ... 
  • Kids don’t need to see my backyard, or know what I say to my wife over dinner. When I have fun with friends and family, that’s a different me, and it’s important that I make that distinction,” he explains. “Being a professional means that I project the values of my profession and my employer when communicating with students.”
    • Jonathan Lederman
       
      everyone uses social differently. some individuals may not post this type of information. others may post it and don't mind who reads it. others could feel that their facebook profile has a specific type of information on it that should only be available to certain people.  Even if this individual is a professional that projects the values of the profession and employer when communicating with students, that doesn't mean that the individual cannot post such communications on a (semi)public forum like a Facebook page.
