Tech-Know Babble

I remember using typewriters and word processors when I was young. Email was a recent development when I was a freshman in college, and I didn’t surf the web until later that year. Cell phones were called car phones or bag phones, and we certainly couldn’t play Scrabble on them.

I’m no Luddite, just a fossil. And so it crashes my mainframe when I think about how tech literate my young children already are. Our seven-year-old creates iMovies, pastes images into the elaborate stories she composes on our laptop, and can set the DVR; our toddler can find his way around an iPhone, and he loves to reprogram our garage-door opener.
