What have I gotten myself into?

I am from the generation that grew up with black and white TV. There were three channels to chose from. If you wanted to watch a show, you knew what day and channel it came on and were in front of your television set to watch it at that time. There was no way to record, rewind, or fast forward through commercials. We had no ipods, mp3s, dvds, pcs, or any other initials that stood for some kind of entertainment. A phone was attached to a wall and was used to talk to people - period. It couldn’t take pictures, play music or direct us to the nearest restaurant.

But I don’t yearn for those days any more than I yearn to go back to outdoor bathrooms and side saddles for women. I think all these changes are good! Look how many more things we can do and how many more people we can touch with just a few minutes and a computer.

Sure, we have to learn new technology every day, but it’s worth it. Besides, if we have trouble, we can always get help from any seven year old. They grew up with all this stuff!
