Simple Thoughts: Technology

So this is a run down of my Saturday evening. Tucked cozily into my recliner with a marathon viewing of Psych running on my TV. It's raining outside and I have a mug of tea. My dog is curled up on the rug taking a nap. It sounds so old fashioned. Well old fashion as far as I'm concerned, old fashioned meaning my growing up years to me :)

I find it entertaining that another part of this little tableau is the fact that both my mom and I have our laptops out utilizing our wireless internet, facebooking up a storm and solidly dating ourselves as members of the twenty-first century. Oh I remember the days when my computer time was limited to 30 minutes on the giant family computer that sat on the desk in the corner of the living room. When connecting to the internet with dial up took forever and sang me a little song in the process. In the days when my mom knew more about everything than me. And now she comes to me for advice on how to use this crazy machine! Back in the day when you had to call someone on a land line to get a hold of them rather connecting with them via social networking. My how the times have changed. I wonder what newfangled contraptions my children will have to teach me how to operate someday!
