What I like to say is that we're trying to develop a new generation of technologies that are worthy of the next generation of kids.

It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the 'good old days' when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy.

We're seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.

Who knows what technology will emerge in the next five years, let alone 20. Yet the education we provide our children now is supposed to last for decades. We cannot train them for jobs that do not even exist yet, but we can provide them with the minds and tools they'll need to adapt to our ever-changing set of circumstances.

So many times, these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times, we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well, that's just not going to happen.

I'm just hoping my children will get enough of a foundation to remember what it was like before technology, how good that feels. Because I remember.

Kids need to be equipped for that. They need to learn to use that technology to keep the new economy going.

Kids don't know what life was like without cell phones.

The technology is just so far gone. It's just like back in the day you needed a suitcase just to have a cell phone. The battery was so heavy, it was like carrying a gallon of soda around with you all day.
