Journal #5: Technologic Punishment

Compared to punishments of the past the punishments of today are no where near as harsh. Compared to being beaten or cut off from like food or something now a days we are just told "no electronic devices for a few days." The world of today is much more different from the world of yesteryear. In the past children being hit was an acceptable punishment but now if parents hit their children the social workers will be noticed quicker than you can say flapjack. Now children rely mostly on electronic devices like computers, Xbox, PS3s, phones, and iPods. It seems like a fair punishment because of the technological dependence of this day and age and it works very well. Cutting off children from their lifelines with all of their friends is a very good punishment to get them to obey their parents. To me thought compared to punishments of the past these punishments seem very lenient and not severe enough but they are very effective and get the point across. Facebook getting taken
