Celery

i haven't posted in awhile so i thought i might update this thingy...I feel uncomfortable talking to a glowing screen for some reason. It's weird to think that kids growing up now find this all so natural, so normal. I remember those apple II's; that was the first computer my family got when i was in kindergarden and that was pretty technologically advanced. I accidentally signed on my brothers screen name yesterday and out of curiosity i read his friend's profiles. One of the girls had an xanga page that i thought was pretty sweet, things dancing across the page...my brother is going to middle school next year so i guess it's not that surprising but still...he grew up with a computer in the house his whole life. Once he got on the computer the internet wasn't a big deal anymore. I remember the internet being a huge deal. Though technology is great i can't feel right about raising a kid on a laptop. Maybe i'm weird but the best thing about being a kid is that everything is so neat and fun. The internet, computers, etc are so easy to have fun on. Are people becoming less creative? Is that possible? I used to be very opposed to having children because the world is overpopulated as it is but now i really want to raise one in my own backwards world where the internet doesnt exist and computers are still apple II's and the only television programing is sesame street. Definitely no videogames. My own small-scale human experiment. I wonder how fucked up Celery will be.
