Technology is amazing!

I keep trying to tell the kids, they don't realize just how good they have it. When I was their age, the internet was just starting out. At that time, no one knew just how huge it would become. The idea that one day, we'd be able to see each other to communicate, all the while being thousands of miles away from each other - was just unthinkable.

It's happened, and I love it. The technology has allowed us to keep in touch with family and with Mom and Dad while on vacation. The kids can hop on and call Meme and Papa and chat as if they are in the same room.

It's an amazing process and I am grateful for all of the computer programmers and developers who have made it possible.
