#7 Technology
My brother is a technology geek. I remember years ago him first getting me involved in Shutterfly and how amazing I thought is was that I could share photos with my friends and family through the internet. Looking at that now, it's hilarious how outdated even that is; I rarely share anything on Shutterfly anymore! With all the social media - facebook is my current addiction - sharing pictures, thoughts, joys, frustrations is a daily occurance. It amazes me how easy it is for me to keep up with my childhood friends who live across the country. I also love connecting with former students from 15 years ago and seeing what they are doing now. This generation will never know what it's like to simply lose touch with people they were once really close to.

Once again, "great minds think alike!" I agree, it's strange that our students will never undertand what it is like to not have that kind of access to people in their lives.
ReplyDeleteWhoopee! I can post comments from our new iPad - I just have to get used to typing on it.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Facebook; it can get a little silly sometimes but it can also be a blessing.
