I love technology only to the extent that it benefits and simplifies my life. I am not one to browse websites that talk about the newest cell phones coming out, or computer gadgetry etc etc etc (like some people in this house. *yawn*) But I do appreciate the marvels that man has come up with, and I sometimes wonder at the advancements that my kids take for granted. They know not of the 8 track or the cassette tape (well, barely) and Macy at least will probably not remember VHS movies. They won't remember back in the olden days when houses had one phone and you called everyone on that one line. *gasp* What brings all of this to mind, you ask? The fact that last night I was IM'ing with my 6 year old, practicing her spelling words for the spelling bee on Friday. I typed "across" and she typed it back to me. Likewise "along," "away," "bake" and so on. "This is fun," she said. And it was. It's good for her spelling, good for her typing skills, and I can subtly correct her spelling or grammar without it seeming like a big deal. She told me "by" and I told her "bye." To which she replied "wutever." Oh well, so much for being subtle. I guess the day I realized that things had changed forever (besides the day I had to ask my 9 year old to turn the stupid dvd on) was the day that Jason sneezed in church and received a text message on his phone that said "Bless you." Wutever. |
