to do well in the world of the ’9os, you are going to
have to deal with machines.

and pass the techniques of handling technology to
their offspring will ensure a more stable world,
according to a Penn State family living specialist
who spoke to about 100 guests at the annual meeting

Dr. Cathy Bowen, assistant prrofessor in the

we call life skills. For coping day to day, people
must learn what she calls the three important skills
we all need to learn; communication and interaction
with others; solving problems'and making deci

information.
She provided three examples into the lives of teal
people who face different coping skills.
