This is a p...I absolutely loved today's column. This is a prevalent issue and one we discuss all too often, as technology replaces face time.<br /> I do love the way we all "keep up" on facebook, though I avoid it on a daily basis. I do like checking in and seeing how my relatives at a distance are doing, Ethan's engagement being a case in point! I can also see the staus of my daughters' days, funny pictures they post, and other little things that keep us in touch.<br /> Jerry's computer on the kitchen table drives me insane, as does Amy's constant smart phone use in our company. But so often, they come up with some interesting information because the technology is right there in our faces.<br /><br />I'm sure many people have "mixed blessing" feelings about this issue. It reminds me of when a friend's sister was doing her thesis in Scotand many decades ago. Just the television was determined to have ruined their social structure, as folks would stay at home at night instead of visiting in the corner pubs. (I wonder how the women felt about that!) So this is actually not a new issue, just a more widely spread one.<br /><br />Thanks for the post. I really love these "conversations" with you. Let me know what other responses you get.Barb K.noreply@blogger.com
