I was just chatting with a friend on facebook who is currently in Iraq. Just brings to mind the technology we have today. He sits in Iraq, it is 8 in the morning and just got home from work and me here in Arizona and we are talking back and forth like he is just next door. Amazing.
Last night I was commenting on my daughter's page in facebook about mailing letters when I was her age while she was a mess by not having the Internet for a day.
We definitely are in a different world now from when I was a kid. I am glad that I kept up with the technology. I remember trying to explain how to use a cell phone to my mother. It was impossible to explain to her how to get her voice mail and she was forever shutting off the phone and could never figure out why people were not calling her. Ultimately the phone was lost, I think it got tossed out in the trash by mistake. Bless her heart, she passed away in 2008. Mom, I love you and think of you every single day and miss you with all my heart.

A couple of terms ago, we had a student in class who was serving in Iraq. Sometimes he had to wait in line to get online.
ReplyDeleteWe are extremely dependent on our tech tools these days. One wonders if the situation is "sustainable." For how long?
Even I did not really want a cell phone. My son gave me one. He works for Verizon. I am on the family plan and he pays for my phone. Since he works such long hours and lives in Honolulu, often he cannot answer the phone but will answer a text. This is our basic form of communication.
