I heard something really sad on NPR today.  Kids are complaining that their parents are spending so much time on their smartphones with twitter and Facebook and so on and they feel neglected.  I had always assumed that parents from my generation would put away these stupid habits once we had children.  It’s part of the reason why I’ve been on a video game binge.  I’m hoping to have a kid sometime in the next few years and I am pretty sure that once I have one that I won’t really have any time for Civilization.  And, at least with the way I feel with other people’s kids, I feel like I’d probably want to spend every waking second with them, at least until they were old enough to be entertained with their own games and toys.
