Photo Hunter: Childhood

The 21st Century Childhood

How advanced they are, these children of the future,
Like small adults, within their tiny frames,
They grow up in a fast ‘speed driven’ culture,
Where ‘learning pressures’ change their kind of games,
Where is their childhood, in all this hurly burly,
Where is their pure untainted view of things,
Why do they have to grow so old, so early,
And lose the joy that only childhood brings.

    Now that is an interesting contraption. Kind of looks like a fetus in utero! I’m sure it must be fun/comforting to be inside it!

    I’ve to agree, this looks like a cocoon. And the child doesn’t seem to mind it’s already 3/4 her size. 🙂

    What a cool way to “hang around”! Yes, they do grow up too fast and with less imagination. Technology has not been the greatest thing for our kids. iPod and xBox addicted.

    I bought two of those. Sigh. My son when he was 1 year old, simply refused to take afternoon nap without it. We went through a lot of ‘silly moment’ with these…
