Passage
Living in the city is hard enough for a single person,but if you have kids life can get more complex. Finding ways to keep the little ones occupied can be a full-time job. So it should be no surprise that parents will go to great lengths to get a little peace and quiet.
However,when I first got to know that some parents bought their young children-not teenagers - iPads,I was shocked. Who spends ＄500 on an iPad for a young child when so many adults in the United States go without or have limited access to computers and the Internet? Whatever happened to Lego,building blocks and colored pencils? And for those slightly older kids how about a good,old-fashioned book instead of an iPad for the car journey to the beach.
