A movie in the car
One part of tech use that tends to bother me are the times that people misuse or overuse technology. A recent experience chaperoning a 4th grade field trip brought this to light for me. We took a coach bus, kids were enjoying the trip, pointing out things outside. Then, because the technology was there we put in a movie to watch. Now all are watching a movie on a 9 inch tv screen and missing a great "movie" going by outside. I can say this because my 4 children age 2-14 travel very well, but movies have no business in cars. We should be seeing what's around us all the time. Some people need to practice with this type of awareness.
So, keeping with the blog theme, watching a movie in a car (vehicle) while traveling is like taking a gameboy to a broadway show.

It is amazing how many of us allow the world to go by without interacting in it. I'm torn on this one - we have used movies on 20 hour trips - more for my wife and my sanity than the kids - yet, refuse to allow things on a three hour or less trip.
I wonder how we developed our guidelines.

I have the same philosophy as everyone here, but I usually acquiesce by the time we reach Chicago. I, myself, can't enjoy the scenery when my two children are beating each other senseless in the backseat. PSPs and iPods aplenty.
