Caught In Between Ana Ximena Santibanez

Did you grow up watching movies and playing video games? You mastered the old art of mixed tapes and now you have your favorite playlists in your computer? Many of us who were born in the 70s and 80s are caught in between the love of technology and the struggle to control it. Videogames and TV were safe ways to keep us entertained, and now our children are nothing but safe if they use them. How much has technology shaped who we are and how we behave? In this book I share my own experience and lessons learned as part of this in-between generation. From our first experiences with computer gaming, to the problems and opportunities of social media and globalized connectivity. Find out why it is so easy for us to become addicted to technology, and why older generations struggle to understand it. Learn how our children are losing their basic abilities for survival, and yet can work a remote control or device as soon as they can get it in their hands. My hope is that after you read this book, you can be more patient with yourself as you shape young and older minds, and more prepared to help them with what they may face.
