Teaching how to balance technology in life through example

Technology has begun to make up a very significant part of our lives. Since most of the technology that we have is relatively new, humanity is still struggling to learn exactly how it fits into every day life. I think that in all the excitement of our newly-created inventions we have allowed technology too much leeway into our lives. So now the question is, what can we do to turn it around? There is no simple answer to this question. However, I believe that the best influence against the overbearing onslaught of technology is the example of a parent to his or her children. What if we - as the future parents of the next generation of Americans - were to master ourselves in such a way that technology became a tool, instead of a driving life force? How would this change the way our children viewed technology from day one? Even though it would be hard for us to change our current ways, it would an investment through which future generations would be taught how to properly control technology.
