Technology

Yesterday at lunch, Emily asked what I didn't have when I was little. Caleb then asked if I had an IPhone. "No, no IPhone." "Did you have a cell phone?" asked Caleb again. I began to list the things that are around today but that we didn't have when I was little.

cell phones
Internet
camera that you can see the picture on
Wii
Corded phones
on, and on, and on

At the end, both Caleb and Emily looked shocked. "Really", said Caleb. "What did you do for fun?" "I bet you played bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish. All you need is your fingers for that game." "I am not that old. We did have an Atari and a Nintendo."

All of this made my realize just how far technology has come. I wonder what my grandchildren will be asking Caleb, Emily, and Micah what they didn't have when they were kids.
