Dear, I don’t know I should envy you or not. Certainly you have a lot to make me feel jealous. At the age of four, you already flied twice, went abroad, have tons of toys I’d never seen or heard of when I was at your age, which including a kid’s digital camera that you can really take pictures and videos with, a toy bear that can talk, sing and play with you, and today I ordered a Tote and Go laptop for you from one of the famous American’s shopping website.  

      Your very own laptop specially designed for the kids at your age!  Even in the wildest dream of my childhood, I could never image such things---Okay, who I am kidding with? Back the time when I was four years old, even the word “computer” was strange to most of the world.

      I just hope with it, you could learn something, anything----a few English words, numbers, words, logic and the other stuffs this toy laptop boast of----anything would do. Even if you learned nothing, it’s still OK---as long as it could help you find some joys of learning and catch some of your attentions away from “Plants VS Zombies”, I would feel it worth every dollar I spent.

       Should I envy you? What a question! Perhaps a bit, last time when I threatened to sell your camera if you didn’t behavior, that bluff had triggered your heart-breaking crying and you looked so miserable when you sitting there with tears streaming down your face, pouting. I kissed you all over and promised me that I would not do that---perhaps subconsciously I did envy you a little, just a tiny little. I got my first camera when I already worked, at your age, I didn’t even have a toy camera to play with.

        However it’s too soon to say who is the luckier generation, you or me. When I was your age, I didn’t have toys, I knew nothing about computer, and camera was just a distant, strangely word to me. But I had pals to play with and I spent most of my time outside. The whole neighborhood was our play yard. We chased butterflies in the corn fields, and it seemed that the whole world could be ours to explore. You, on the other hand, have to spend most of time indoors. When you got home, you don’t have any friends at your age to play. You had tons of toys, but what’s the fun if you had no one to share with?

       With this laptop, you could establish a pretend social networking world, where you could send postcards, visit and play with animal friends. At your age, it teaches you the keynote about modern society’s communication: we talk, we chatter, we share everything with our friends online but we seldom actually see them.

      Better or Worse?
