Patch Columnist on Huffpost Live

'A Dad's Point of View' columnist Bruce Sallan is among the guests interviewed on a recent Huffpost Live segment.

Posted by Susan Pascal (Editor), February 22, 2013 at 09:47 pm

Patch columnist and local resident Bruce Sallan, was interviewed Wednesday on Huffpost Live.

The topic at hand was "Welcome to Filterhood" and explores whether or not the role of parents is changing in a 24/7 technology-filled world.

The question posed to Sallan, a psychotherapist, the director of AskMen.com and an alternative education teacher was: "Should parents control the information their kids receive? Is modern parenthood about being a filter?"

It is unfortunate that this incident happened at our local schools. The crime is a result of…Read More ignorance and lack of education.

Thanks for your great perspective on this issue. We should all unplug once in awhile.

I think for the most part, people are mentally drained. Few take the time to sit back relax…Read More anymore. Even when we do have a minute to ourselves, we're constantly bombarded with emails, text messages and status updates. If we unplugged ourselves from our devices, we might find the serenity we all so desperately need. Turn your phone off, take a hike. Find a big tree next to a creek and sit under the shade. Enjoy nature. Listen to the sound of the water, the birds and the breeze as it moves through the brush. When you get back to nature, if only for a short time, you'll leave with a clear mind and feel revitalized. You're right---technology was supposed to make our lives more simple. Instead, it fuels the attention deficit disorder as our brain becomes a hashtag with a constant barrage of (often useless) news and updates. Although I'm young, I'd give anything to go back to the days where calling someone often led to a wild goose chase of finding an available payphone and spare change to make the call.
