The Blue Nowhere-2nd post
one of the issues the first 250 pages raises is parenting. The character of Phate has some of the problems he has because of being ignored by his parents. He didn't suffer poverty or substandard living conditions when growing up. His parents were basically too busy with their own careers to bother with him. I'm wondering if this is a social commentary by Deaver on the state of our current parenting. I'm concerned that many parents today are very busy with their career and that they use technology as a babysitter. As Deaver points out in this book that could be very dangerous. Loretta

The Blue Nowhere is such an eye opener to some scary situations happening in our world today. I along with you Loretta feel that some parents use technology as a babysitter--in fact, I know they do!! Maybe we should give them The Blue nowhere to read.....hmmmm. Anyways, technology can be such a positive way to enhance learning but not when it is not taught/learned in a proper way.
