Technology

I got the chance to talk to my mamaw and papaw (dad's mom and dad) tonight via webcam. I've been talking to dad since last week. We had to iron out a few kinks, on both ends, before we could get everything to work right, but we finally got it. What's funny about talking to my mamaw and papaw via webcam is how amazed they are with it. To someone, like me, who's been using one for a few years now, it's nothing that spectacular. To them, it's "like the Jetsons. Remember that cartoon, Tosh?". How could I forget the Jetsons? That was one of my favorite cartoons to watch growing up. I loved the fact that, even for a kids show, the positive and negative sides of technology were portrayed. In fact, I think the Jetsons is the reason I became so interested with our computer when my parents bought our first one. I was extremely glad to see the huge smiles on my mamaw and papaw's faces when they could see Tyler and I on dad's computer screen. What a sight! I was glad to make their evening that much brighter.
