Yesterday my brother and his family came over. At one point there were seven of us sitting in the front room. Every single one of us had either an iPad,iPhone,or iPod touch in our hands. It is a whole new world isn't it?
I remember when the first VCR came out. We were EXCITED. Of course it was a few years before we owned such an awesome machine. Friday nights we went to the video store and rented the VCR and VHS tapes. We were SO beyond thrilled when my parents came home with the cumbersome VCR. The remote had a long cord, that stretched from the remote to the VCR. As I watch my children watch movies any time, any place in the palm of their hands I am amazed.
When they want to learn more about a subject or do a report all of the information is at their fingertips. They laugh when I tell them, I had to haul my cookies to the library to do research. Next I would come home and type my report on a typewriter. I think this book is adorable and very fitting for this new generation. :)

Oh yes, the Friday night trip to the video store! Ah, good memories! :o)
Isn't it crazy how fast technology is moving??? I can't believe it--I blink and something new is out.
I often think about life before Google and the 'net and am awed at how far we've come. Research at a library? Nuh uh! (Man, I was lucky, I had the VT library at my disposal. Boy, talk about feeling spoiled!)
