Technology = A Fast Moving Stream

Standing on the bank, things look like they’re going by too fast!

If you wade out into it with your net, you’re going to catch something!

Will you catch it all? NO!Will you want to keep everything you catch?

NO!But if you stand on the bank and never cast

your net, you’ll never catch anything at all!

Technology = A Fast Moving Stream

Fishing with a friend is more fun and more fruitful!

Allowing children and young people to learn to fish is worthwhile and can be some of their most valuable lessons!
