There is a book, "Alone Together", by Sherry Turkle that describes how technology affects children. They do what you are afraid of and it is worse; she has observed how the use of text, facebook, etc replaces learning to relate to each other and they get isolated and depressed. It is worse in the US but I see we are not far behind. Tony -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
