The internet has so many opportunities to bring you and your child closer together. First, if you are not expert at social media, get your kids to help you set up an account. Get your kids to help you how to put photos up. Think of using the internet with a trip, if you are going somewhere. Give them one of your old cameras. Let them upload those photos and then share them with the family. Bring digital music into the house. Another idea is to have the kids produce a blog, whether that's a written blog or photo blog. Use the internet to express themselves. It is very powerful and very constructive. Most importantly, think about these shared projects. It creates this community in your household about how you and your kids can use the technology.

Technology Expert

Jonathon Fishman is passionate about technology.  Not for what it does, but for where it can lead you. The idea for his company, Ben’s Ranch, struck Jonathon when his stepmother asked his advice in buying a computer for her grandson. She didn't care about the brand or specs, she simply wanted to know how it would help her Grandson.  Jonathon realized that technical support was centered around rescue, repair and complicated conversations. He believed that the conversation should start with how does technology empower the use. Ben's Ranch became the industry standard for personal and small business IT by shifting the conversation repair to usability. Jonathon is happily married and the father of a seven-year old and a nine-year old.
