I was at my friends house today, and I remember we would occasionally babysit his neighbors kids..just the short 15-20 minute type deal. Well the last time I saw the little girl, she was in first grade and yelled at me saying "I'm a diva I can do what I want."
So now I'm there, she's in FOURTH GRADE and is texting her friends on her verizon voyager. Okay, first off her phone is already better than mine...second, I didn't have a phone until I was in 8th grade. I didn't even know how to use a phone in fourth grade. Then I get home and I see she sent me a friend request on facebook. Dude I barel use the internet in fourth grade.
So how long will this carry on? Will it goe all the way to 3 year olds using cells?

I found all this out today because my friend got a trampoline. ALL the neighborhood little kids suddenly became bestfriends with his little sister. There were kids we didn't know chilling at his house like they lived there.
This stuff makes me sick, lol.
I just missed out on the beepers though.
Fuck.
^*winces at thought*
Then last year my friend pissed blood after this chick kicking him for no valid reason.
SOMERSWORTH — At least one School Board members thinks there's a kink in a technology grant that was recently awarded to the School District.
Earlier this month, the district was awarded $145,000 in federal stimulus funds to pay for a technology program at Somersworth Middle School. The money was part of $3.2 million distributed to 22 school districts in the state as part of the federal "Enhancing Education Through Technology" program. At the Middle School, the money will pay for netbooks for teachers and iPod Touch devices for sixth-graders, among other gadgets.
During a School Board meeting Tuesday, board member Peter Houde expressed concern about introducing the iPod devices, which are used to store music and play video games, among other uses.
"I can't see why sixth-graders need iPods in classrooms," he said.
Superintendent Karen Soule said the devices are important to district's mission of making students more "technology literate."
The iPod Touch, which is manufactured by Apple and ranges in price from $199 to $399 per unit, is touted as a music player, pocket computer with wireless Internet capability, and game player, according to the company's web site. The site also touts its educational uses, from storing virtual flash cards, to recording information in the science lab, to monitoring current events.
"The iPod Touch has a huge amount of potential in the classroom to revolutionize the way students learn and teachers teach," the web site declares.
She said the new hardware is sorely needed, as currently there are about 50 laptops and netbooks being shared among 400 students at the middle school.
"The overall goal is for (teachers) to increase (students') access to technology on a regular basis," she said at the time. "It's essential — it's how the world is being presented to them every day."
She added the equipment will be made available to students attending Somersworth Youth Connection's afterschool and summer program. Parents and students will also be invited to several "Technology Fun Nights," co-sponsored by the connection program.
On Tuesday, School Board member Ken Bolduc, who admitted he was illiterate in technology matters, said it would be helpful if the board received a presentation about how the iPods will be implemented.
"It would be interesting if we had an idea of what was going on," Bolduc said.
School Board Chairman Jerry Perkins said he spoke with members of the community who were also concerned about the iPods, but he stressed students will be required to use them "properly".
