Are We Spoiling Our Kids?

Take a walk down memory lane in your mind, and go back to your childhood days when you were about 8-13 years old; what gadgets (toys) were you using?

I was playing with action figures, toy trains, and the old Commodore 64 computer & then Sega Master System.

Now that we're on the 21st Century it seems that the new electronic gadgets are the in thing. Kids today have Play Stations, X Boxes, Ipods, and mobile phones.

Also allot of kids have their own TV in their bedroom & the internet has become an everyday activity. I remember we had one TV in the main lounge & then we had 1 12inch TV which was shared around between the three bedrooms on a rostered time table; and that was a luxury.

So are we spoiling our kids too much, or is the world changing so much, that we need to be exposing them to the worlds technology at a young age.?
